VIKTOR VAUGHN – VAUDEVILLE VILLAIN

Description

Back In 2003, During An Incredible Period Of Growth And Reinvention For Legendary Artist MF DOOM, He Introduced Us To One Of His Numer- Ous Alter Egos, Viktor Vaughn. As The Story Goes, Viktor Vaughn Was An Interdimensional Time-Traveling MC From An Alternate Realm Where Hip-Hop Was Banned. He’d Been Exploring Time And Space Looking For New Dimensions To Sharpen Him To 90s Era NYC, Where He Found Himself Stranded Due To A Mechanical Mishap With His Time Machine. He Began Hitting Open Mics And Small Venues, Battling Other MCs And Picking Up A Few Side-Hustles In Order To Raise Enough Funds To Repair His Time Machine And Get Back To His Travels.

Vaudeville Villain Is A Concept Album Like No Other, Where MF DOOM Re-Envisions Himself As A Younger, Hungrier, More Brazen Persona, In Order To Explore Subjects New And Old From A Different Point Of View. Of Course, Developing A Second Self From A More Technologically Advanced Universe, He Wanted To Take A New Approach To The Produc- Tion Too. Viktor Vaughn Fittingly Raps Over Next-School Beats That Move Freely In Spaces Between Electronica And Hip Hop, All Courtesy Of Sound-Ink Producers King Honey, Heat Sensor And Max Bill, With The Exception Of One Track Produced By RJD2. Featuring All Original Lyrics By DOOM, With A Few Notable Guest Appearances From M. Sayyid (Anti-Pop Consortium), Lord Sear, Apani B Fly MC, Louis Logic, And More, Vaudeville Villain Is One Of The More Uniquely Creative Entries In The MF DOOM Universe.
