After revisiting the Reflection Eternal debut recently I looked through Talib's rym and saw his very first credits are 4 features on a weird album by "Mood" called "Doom" with some rather ugly cover art, and also saw it was largely produced by Hi-Tek.

Despite the cover art though, the intro track immediately hooked me and I've found myself listening to it a lot recently, really love the dark, psychedelic sound. Very different from Reflection Eternal for sure. Dark Jazz Rap

holy s*** these Hi-Tek beats >>>

intro track is hard

That one's actually prod by Jahson from the Mood crew also really great producer tbh, def did some highlights on here. Blends seamlessly with Hi-Tek too

I just counted and actually it's exactly 50/50 Hi-Tek and Jahson production

I was so high when I first saw the thread title that I thought MF Doom put out a new album.

Great thread, will try to check it soon

that's dope, never heard him before will check him out too!

I like Vision a lot

unfortunately looks to me like his career never really took off like Hi-Tek's did tbh. He produced half of Killah Priest's Black August album (Sunz of Man also feature on Doom) and also had this one placement on a Kool Keith album (p tight track), but otherwise his resume is pretty thin at least in terms of high-profile placements.

Black August tracks are all p fire too tbh
