Unexpected Guests

Fans of MF Doom have been expecting the unexpected for years, but Unexpected Guests is a surprising bonanza of quality material. Combing through his back catalog but focusing more on the guest features that appeared elsewhere, the album/compilation/mixtape brings to light close to 20 features only compiled before by close fans with time to spare (including a few unreleased tracks). DOOM gets more than his share of features, alongside Talib Kweli (from Kweli's hard-to-find 2005 mixtape Right About Now), Scienz of Life (a track from a 2002 album that sounds like it was recorded ten years earlier), and Vast Aire (from a 2004 LP). Given the dearth of good DOOM material during the late 2000s, Unexpected Guests is a priceless collection
