KMD consisted of brothers Zev Love X and DJ Subroc along with Onyx The Birthstone Kid. They released the classic album Mr. Hood in 1991 on Elektra. Criminally slept on it is only getting the props it deserves today.

Politics and bullshit lead Elektra to drop the group in 1994 (now without Onyx) before the release of their second album Black Bastards. Around this time Subroc was tragically killed in a car accident, and Zev Love X, understandably disillusioned, took some time out from the record industry.

He resurfaced under the metal mask of MF Doom in the late 1990's, on b-boy philanthropist Bobbito Garcia's Fondle 'Em label. His album Operation Doomsday pretty much forms a trilogy with the two KMD albums before it (the second now released through Sub Verse Music) and has garnered much praise from the hip hop world.

With an ever growing base of fans seeking out the old KMD records, and with the new indie crowd familiar with MF Doom, a new KMD project is apparently in the pipeline, with longtime friends Kurious and MF Grimm rumoured to be making up the numbers.
