Masta Ace has revealed the cover art to his next LP, MA_Doom: Son Of Yvonne, produced entirely by MF Doom. He recently spoke on it in an interview with Shockya.Com:
Can you tell me about your new album coming out with MF Doom?
Yes. The album is going to be called “MF Doom: Son Of Yvonne”. It is actually dedicated to my late mother passing in 2005. It takes you back to when I was about 12 years old. It gives you a little insight into what my childhood was like, growing up in a neighborhood and those experiences. The music inspired by his instrumental series. He put up about 180 instrumentals called, “Special Herbs” and a friend of mine exposed me to those instrumentals. I drove around with them for about two months and started to really like a couple of them a lot and decided to start writing songs to them. I didn’t really plan for it to be an official album. It was going to be more like a mixtape or something to do just for fun, but it started to take shape and it seemed to me like it would make a good album. I just started to put it together that way and here we are.
Do you and MF Doom get along well?
The interesting thing is that it is not really a collaboration project because he had no idea that I was writing this album. He put those instrumentals out for the world to have and I discovered them. I wrote this music and in January, I started tweeting a little bit about it and people were showing a lot of interest. He found out about it kind of through the grape vine that I was doing this record. We wound up being on a show together in Switzerland and hung out. After the show, I went to his hotel room and actually played him the whole album. He had no idea about anything until that day when I sat there and played him the whole album. He was blown away.

The real headline of this story is that Doom actually turned up to perform at a show
I have to say in underwhelmed by this. I am a huge fan of Masta Ace and M.F. Doom but those beats are sooo played out and have been used over and over again. Not to mention years of myself using them for freestyle practise. If they got together and he made new beats and would be stoked but this? I probably won’t even bother listening…
Man, if any beat on this album is anything from the Special Gerbs instrumentals, that have been used on Ghostface to Dooms last album, then it might not be worth checking out unless.
Ahem…*Herbs* not *Gerbs*
I never listened to the instrumentals, so it will be new to me. Sounds good.
