MF Doom

As far as legends of the music industry go, MF Doom was a truly essential member of the rap and hip-hop genres. The real name Daniel Dumile, the British-American rapper and producer was a phenomenally successful and iconic figure in the underground music world. He would always don a skull-like metallic mask in public and took on the persona of a supervillain. MF Doom would sadly pass away in October 2020 from unannounced causes. Dumile was an enigmatic but no less influential character.
