[a=KMD] consisted of brothers [a=Zev Love X] (Daniel Dumile) and DJ [a=Subroc] (Dingilizwe Dumile) along with Onyx The Birthstone Kid (Alonzo Hodge). They released the classic album Mr. Hood in 1991 on [l=Elektra]. Criminally slept on, it is only getting the props it deserves today.
Disagreements with [l=Elektra] led to the label dropping the group in 1994, before the release of their second album Black Bastards. Just prior to Black Bastards' release, [a=Subroc] was tragically killed in a car accident, and [a=Zev Love X], understandably disillusioned, took some time out from the record industry.
He resurfaced under the metal mask of [a=MF Doom] in the late 1990s, on b-boy philanthropist [a=Bobbito] Garcia's [l=Fondle 'Em] label.
