[Listen] DOOM - "Doomsayer" (Remix)

In a fitting move, rap's resident doom enthusiast DOOM released a remix of his track "Doomsayer" on December 21st, the day the world was (apparently) supposed to end. Now that the Mayan doomsday calendar conspiracy craziness has passed, we can all enjoy the nostalgic rap stylings of DOOM. The erratic and weird lyricism of DOOM is paired with solid remix production courtesy of DJ/engineer Young Guru, and the result fits perfectly into the repertoire of the masked rap villain. Finish the year off right, stream it below.

Check out the track "Retarded Fren" from the upcoming compilation celebrating the tenth anniversary of Lex Records. Now can we get a new Madvillain record? Is that too much to ask?

[Listen] DOOMSTARKS (DOOM x Ghostface) - "Victory Laps" (Madvillainz Remix)

Remember when I told you guys you should jump on ordering that DOOM x Akomplice Mystery Box? If you did, congrats! If you missed out, sucks for you but luckly the blogosphere always gots your back. Sadly, my package is at my folks place in another state, but our good friends at OneThirtyBPM came across one sweet ass gem located inside the Mystery Box, a brand new collaboration from (formerly MF) DOOM and Wu sword swinger Ghostface Killah aka DOOMSTARKS titled "Victory Laps." The Madvillainz Remix was included on a red cassette along with other DOOM goods inside the mystery box. This track marks the 4th collaboration from DOOM and Ghost who previously collaborated on the tracks "Angels" from DOOM's Born Like This, "The Mask" from Danger Doom's The Mouse And The Mask and "Chinatown Wars" from the Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars Soundtrack.

However, if you missed out on ordering the limited edition package, don't fret, according to DOOMSTARKS' label the un-remixed version will be available on iTunes from July 26th. You can also head over to the Nature Sounds' website to preorder the limited-edition picture disc vinyl of the upcoming single which features both the original and the remix. One lucky recepient of the (not so mysterious anymore) box has posted a video of the contents of the box with the new song playing in (the not so best quality) in the background. Check it out after the jump.

UPDATE: Check out the HQ stream that premiered on Hot 97 below and the reveal video after the jump.
