When he was a little boy, his family moved to Long Island, New York.
Early in his rap career, Dumile performed as Zevlove X and, together with his younger brother DJ Subroc and another musician named Rodan, founded the group KMD in 1988.
In the 1990s, KMD, also known as Kausing Much Damage, signed a deal with Elektra Records. The Gas Face, a 3rd Bass track, first featured the Dumile and KMD in 1991.
The group’s debut album, Mr. Hood, featured the hits Peachfuzz and Who Me? It was released the same year. After the death of his brother Subroc, Dumile went solo in the late 1990s and took the name MF Doom.
In 1997 he returned to the rap scene and in 1999 he released his debut solo album Operation: Doomsday.
He is perhaps best known for the 2004 album Madvillainy, which he co-wrote with producer Madlib and released under the stage name Madvillain. This album marked the rapper’s debut on the US album chart.
According to complexMF Doom “is responsible for some of the most beloved hip-hop albums of all time, including Mm.. Food and Madvillainy featuring Madlib.”
The rapper hadn’t released a solo album since 2009, but “remained active in the decade that followed, releasing three separate collaboration efforts.”
He collaborated with BADBADNOTGOOD on a song titled The Chocolate Conquistadors, which was released earlier this month.
Flying Lotus revealed that they were working on an EP at the time of MF Doom’s passing.
One of the first musicians to express his grief on social media was Flying Lotus, who previously collaborated with Doom.
He wrote: “My soul is crushed. The weight of the moment. I know we are in a pandemic, but we should celebrate DOOM. Just playing the music is not good enough.”
“I hate to say this, but we were actually working on an EP,” he wrote in response to a fan’s question. “There were more songs I didn’t even hear.”

Why did MF Doom wear a mask?
Taking the name Doctor Doom from the Fantastic Four supervillain, MF Doom started dressing like the Marvel Comics antagonist.
Even on the cover of the 1999 album Operation Doomsday, Doctor Doom is shown rapping.
Dumile told the New Yorker that the mask “came out of necessity”.
He planned to use this character to refer to different albums, giving him a whole backstory.
“The story came together, and it worked and became popular. And now people wanted to see shows, and I thought, how do I do that?
“I wanted to get up on stage and talk without people thinking about the normal things people think about,” said Dumile.
“Like girls saying, ‘Oh, he’s s*xy,’ or ‘I don’t want him, he’s ugly,’ and then other guys take a look at you. A visual always gives a first impression.
“But if there’s a first impression, I might as well use it to control the story. So why not do something like put on a mask?” he added.
“I am the writer, I am the director. If I went out without the mask on, they would say, ‘Who is this?’”
