Producer Jneiro Jarel and underground hip-hop royalty MF DOOM have  teamed up once more as JJ DOOM to present a new track called “BOOKHEAD”. The video, directed by street artist Steve “ESPO” Powers, places DOOM in a London convenience store trying to buy a six-pack, but more intrigued by the store’s security mirror. He steps closer to it, and the villainous mask DOOM is known to wear is replaced by a new one–a smaller version of the security mirror. “BOOKHEAD” is a compelling video, with intriguing lyrics to match. Lines such as, “From the mean streets of the ‘can I get a dollar, dude. / Above measure, the singular pleasure of solitude”, prove that DOOM still has a serious love of words. But if you’ve listened to him before, you already knew that. Check it out.
