Black Bastards: Original Samples

KMD comprised of Zev Love X (later known as DOOM), DJ Subroc, and Onyx the Birthstone Kid. There sophomore effort was scheduled for release on Elektra Records in 1994, but was shelved indefinitely because of the controversial cover art and lyrics.  Dante Ross (VP of A&R at Elektra at that time) discussed the circumstances surrounding (page 29) the group/album being dropped in the the first issue of HHCdigital.

The album was finally released in 2001 on Sub Verse Records and re-released by DOOM in 2008.  The samples include music from Melvin Van Peebles, Kain, Melvin Bliss, Jody Watley, and others.  Major props to Onez for dropping another dope set on us! Info and link after the jump…
