In 2004, hip hop fans around the world were delighted to be the first to hear the now infamous collaboration of MF Doom and Madlib. The album was called Madvillainy and it crossed the boundary between underground and mainstream hip hop. While they may not be members of the millionaire club like Weezy or Kanye, no true hip hop head can say they don't know Doom and Madlib. So, get ready because Madvillain is back in a big way.

The duo first got together back in 2002. Their album took two years to perfect and it proved to be well worth the wait as it became one of the high points in both their careers. Doom is known for his smooth, thought-provoking lyrics and distinctive voice. While Madlib is known for being a hip hop producer extraordinaire; able to put a beat to anything and get your butt moving. When the two ultra-talented leaders of underground hip hop connected the first time around it was nothing short of epic. Madvillainy is an album that will forever be synonymous with underground hip hop.  It's a true classic.

This September the duo is blessing us all with Madvillainy 2. This release is Madlib's 25-track remix of the classic album and will put a new spin on some timeless tunes. To sweeten the deal, Stones Throw Records will be releasing the album in an awesome box set. The set will include: The cd, a 7" single, a copy of the original Madvillain demo on cassette, a t-shirt and a Madvillain comic book. To top it off, everything inside the set will be limited edition.

MF Doom is known for being super secretive, not only in identity but in his career plans. While no dates have been released for possible live shows, it certainly cannot be ruled out as the duo are known for just popping up anywhere and everywhere.

Be on the lookout for Madvillainy 2 and be sure to catch up with Madvillain, one of hip hop's most notorious duo's.
