HipHop star, Daniel Dumile's wife Jasmine Dumile, shocked the world on December 31st with a post confirming death of her husband. She posted a photo of him remembering him being a greatest husband and a father.

To Dumile

The greatest husband, father, teacher, student, business partner, lover and friend I could ever ask for. Thank you for all the things you have shown, taught and given to me, our children and our family. Thank you for teaching me how to forgive beings and give another chance, not to be so quick to judge and write off. Thank you for showing how not to be afraid to love and be the best person I could ever be. My world will never be the same without you. Words will never express what you and Malachi mean to me, I love both and adore you always. May THE ALL continue to bless you, our family and the planet.

All my Love
Jasmine

Transitioned October 31,2020

Her post indicated that he died two months back on October 31. However the cause of his death was not given.

Popularly known as MF doom, the masked rapper was born in london and raised in New York. He entered the hip-hop field in the late 80s with stage name Zev Love X as a group KMD member along with his younger brother, DJ Subroc.

During that time, he lost his younger brother, and he went missing from the public eye. He later came back in the 1990s. He produced his debut album Operation: Doomsda, launched in 1999, himself. 

He has six studio album altogether under different stage name including King Geedorah and Viktor Vaughn. He even collaborated with musicians such as Danger Mouse and Ghostface Killah. He approached and collaborated with producer Madlib on 2004 album Madvillainy, which was his most celebrated release.

Being inspired from Marvel comic Super villian, Doctor Doom, he named himself MF Doom. He spit bars with energetic and curved complexity, grounded by his own exemplary soul-and funk-testing creation.

The news of his death has shocked the hip hop world.


"Someone just stabbed all my chakras," rapper Pharoahe Monch wrote on Instagram. "I'm angry. I'm hollering and I'm crying."

"RIP to another Giant your favourite MC's MC .. MF DOOM!! crushing news...," producer and rapper Q-Tip wrote on social media.

Kenny Beats, a producer obliged to MF DOOM's peculiar boom-bap style, tweeted: "I heard that some authors rewrote entire novels by the greats just to see how it felt. Denzel [Curry] and I made UNLOCKED talking about DOOM every single day just trying to channel an ounce of the feeling."

In an interview with Spin magazine last year, Dumile resembled his songwriting to "gymnastics on paper" and achieving "triple word scores" in Scrabble.

"How many words repeat in a bar, or two bars? How many syllables can you use that still make sense in a song?" Dumile said. "The quality of the rhyming word: phonetically, how the tone is, in the pronunciation of the word. Regardless of language ... As long as the word itself rhymes, you still get points for that word. ... How many references can you cross and still stay on topic? And still rhyme? The more complex the subject matter and wordplay is, that's where you get your points. I'm a rhymer, so I go for points."

Hip-hop world will always remember him as a great lyricist. May his soul Rest in Peace,
