MF Doom - Metal Fingers Presents: Special Herbs Vol. 5 & 6 [2LP Red]

The saga continues with Metal Fingers Presents: Special Herbs Vol. 5 & 6, now served up on a bold red 2LP pressing that feels as fiery as the beats within. MF DOOM, under his Metal Fingers alias, takes listeners deeper into his labyrinth of instrumentals, each track a carefully mixed potion of dusty samples, hypnotic loops, and unshakable grooves.

As one of the most expansive instrumental hip hop projects ever created, the Special Herbs series is both a history lesson and a playground. On Vol. 5 & 6, DOOM flips everything from silky 70s soul cuts to 80s R&B gems, stitching them together with his unmistakable villainous flair. Some tracks resurface as reworked versions of beats used across his sprawling catalog, while others stand tall as exclusives, showcasing DOOM’s ear for finding magic in the overlooked.

What makes these records so special is their dual nature: they can be savored as standalone sonic journeys, or dissected as blueprints behind some of DOOM’s most iconic vocal work. Each track feels like a secret ingredient pulled from the villain’s recipe book, blending nostalgia and experimentation into something that always sounds ahead of its time.

Pressed on striking red vinyl, this edition is a must-have centerpiece for collectors and fans alike. Special Herbs Vol. 5 & 6 is more than an instrumental album - it’s a testament to DOOM’s ability to bend the rules of hip hop and make his own. Put it on, and let the red vinyl spin like a villain’s calling card.
