KMD – The Best Of KMD (CD) (2004) (FLAC + 320 kbps)

KMD, an acronym first for “Kausin’ Much Damage” and then “a positive Kause in a Much Damaged society”, was a hip hop group formed in 1986 or 1987 by Zev Love X, Subroc, Jade1, and Prime. This lineup would record a single “The Therapist” (1987) but it never released. Jade1 and Prime would leave before the recording of their first album Mr. Hood (1991) and Onyx the Birthstone Kid would join. Onyx left in 1992 during the recording of the group’s second album Black Bastards (1994). Immediately following the death of Subroc in 1993, when KMD was in the middle of producing its second album, Bl_ck-B_st_rds, Elektra dropped the group and shelved the album. The death of his brother and being cut by Elektra led Zev Love X to retreat from the industry and ultimately resurface as MF Doom. Black Bastards finally released (not including promotional or bootleg releases) for the first time in 2000, 7 years after recording.
