Dr. Dooom is one of the many alter egos created by New York rapper <a href="spotify:artist:3zFaWPA8Jobgf5egh38KD2">Kool Keith</a>. The Dooom character was created as Keith began to tire of his previous stint as <a href="spotify:artist:7dr3cSEOIZ6tBrm4y1wsnr">Dr. Octagon</a>, "killing" <a href="spotify:artist:7dr3cSEOIZ6tBrm4y1wsnr">Doc Ock</a> on "Who Killed Doctor Octagon?" the first track of First Come, First Served. Released in 1999, First Come was released on the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Funky+Ass%22">Funky Ass</a> label and was produced by <a href="spotify:artist:2T3TY0bgKbi5lH3TfD0m7O">KutMasta Kurt</a>. It unveiled a warped persona with a love of cannibalism, rodents, and multivitamins, combining Keith's trademark eccentric style and conversational flow with these darker themes. Despite his intention to halt the alt-rap <a href="spotify:artist:7dr3cSEOIZ6tBrm4y1wsnr">Octagon</a>, Keith resurrected him in 2006 on The Return of Dr. Octagon. With the revival of his archenemy, Dooom also returned with an unexpected sequel with 2008's Dr. Dooom, Vol. 2 (<a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Threshold%22">Threshold</a>). Featuring the track "RIP Dr. Octagon," the album also marked the return of <a href="spotify:artist:2T3TY0bgKbi5lH3TfD0m7O">KutMasta Kurt</a> reprising his production role. Though <a href="spotify:artist:7dr3cSEOIZ6tBrm4y1wsnr">Octagon</a> reappeared over the years (most notably on <a href="spotify:artist:3TNt4aUIxgfy9aoaft5Jj2">Yeah Yeah Yeahs</a>' "Buried Alive" in 2013), Dooom retreated into the shadows. ~ Neil Z.
