New Music: MF Doom x Ghostface Killah "Victory Laps" (UPDATE: Album Confirmed)

If you were crazy enough to pick up the MF Doom x Akomplice “mystery box” last month, then you were first to hear the lead single off of Doom’s long-awaited collaboration with Ghostface Killah, Doomstarks. “Victory Laps” produced by Doom and Madlib, might be all we ever hear of this perfect marriage (first announced in 2006, this is the most music we’ve really gotten from the pair beyond one verse on Doom’s Born Like This), but they certainly dropped it in style.

Check out the video above to unlock the box’s contents, which include a cassette of “Victory Laps”, a classic Doom mask, a Doom x Akomplice timepiece, and other swag. You should be able to get the song on iTunes in better quality July 26th.

UPDATE: As “Victory Laps sweeps the internets today, there has been plenty of speculation as to whether the collaboration will ever materialize into a full-length album. Devin Horwitz of Nature Sounds Records, Doom’s label, was able to confirm it to XXL:

According to Horwitz, six years since the two first announced joining forces, they have finally reconnected, and are currently prepping the release an LP for sometime very soon under the guise DOOMSTARKS. “The guys regrouped just this year and really started fine tuning and really trying to hone it in to make this thing a reality,” Horowitz told XXL. “I think just recently it really clicked for both of them what this project could be and how important it was really for the fans.”
