DOOM is on form at the moment, with a new album on the way with Jneiro Jarel and some sage thoughts to share with the world.

In support of the album, Key To The Kuffs, DOOM and Jarel will be performing live together for two UK dates. The first will be in the Rizlab tent at this year’s Bestival on September 7; the second at London’s Village Underground on November 2, tickets and info here.

It’s also just been announced that the metal-faced villain will deliver a special solo DJ set in Shoreditch next Saturday, August 25. The night, hosted by Livin’ Proof – whose hip hop coups this year so far include exclusive London shows from Danny Brown and A$AP Rocky – will take place at Concrete on Shoreditch High Street. There are only 200 tickets available, so you’d be advised to pick one up sharpish – you can do so here.
