edit/update: the person who this song was originally written about is now essentially devoid of respect and likability in my eyes, so now it's a ballad for all of the lovers out there who aren't fucking each other over.

good riddance, s.

thanks, p.

thanks, world.

Hey Jude, We Major - What's A Black Beatle

‘Molotov’ represents the best elements of its creators, Brooklyn rapper, Saga and Chicago producer, Thelonious Martin. The rhymes are potent and powerful, taking down everyone from cynics to haters, wack emcees, and inner demons. And the instrumentals serve to bring those words to life by way of head-nodding percussion, and slick sample flips.

Because it was crafted by one rapper and one producer, ‘Molotov’ is especially effective, and have made it clear why their approach works so well, especially as a duo. The 12 tracks move in and out of each other seamlessly, while tackling a variety of sounds and subject matter, all with an effective supporting cast of notable features. Like the one-two punch of the straight-up banger “Karma,” which features a fired-up Freddie Gibbs, and the Fashawn-assisted lead single, “Yesterday.” 

“With Molotov, it was about maintaining the level of quality I'm known for,” the producer says, noting that it all started with the two sending tracks back and forth. “As the project was coming along, we started building the proper chemistry to make this special.”

Saga agreed, calling the project’s conception “organic." It was that unrestrained vibe that he says “allowed me to be free with my thought process, and write for the moment.” As a result, he was able to explore new and intriguing ideas, like how “chaos is the end result of a long process of inner discontent within our own lives.” And you can hear him eloquently rhyme about this subject on "Misunderstood," his favorite cut on the 12 track LP.

And the music doesn’t stop with ‘Molotov’’s release in February. The album will also be available on vinyl in April, courtesy of Coalmine Records. This falls prior to the duo’s departure for Europe, where they will embark on a multi-city tour in promotion for the LP, in late May/early June. 

‘Molotov’ is now available through all major digital retailers and streaming outlets, via Saga 718/EMPIRE.

Intro

**Order the deluxe 3LP DANGERDOOM (Metalface Version) reissue here: http://smarturl.it/dangerdoommetalface

Back in 2005, super-producer Danger Mouse and hip hop supervillain DOOM came together for "The Mouse And The Mask", a collaborative album released under the name DANGERDOOM.  Among DOOM’s most successful projects both critically and commercially, the album was inspired by Cartoon Network’s late-night Adult Swim programming slate, and includes appearances from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Space Ghost, Harvey Birdman, and more, plus guest spots from Talib Kweli, Ghostface Killah, and Cee Lo Green. 

Now, DOOM is proud to announce a deluxe CD + 3xLP vinyl reissue of "The Mouse And The Mask" courtesy of his own label METALFACE Records.  This edition also includes the 7-track 2006 DANGERDOOM digital-only EP Occult Hymn (remastered, with high-quality audio for the first time ever), as well as two previously unreleased tracks, including this track featuring Black Thought.
