KMD
Encyclopedia : K : KM : KMD : KMD
KMD (Kausing Much Damage, or a positive Kause in a Much Damaged Society) was a hip-hop group in the early 1990s perhaps best known for their music video "Peachfuzz", off of their first album Mr. Hood, though they also did guest vocals on the white rap group 3rd Bass's "Gasface". Their political outlook was similar to the group Brand Nubian, who guest-starred on their album; however, the style was more comical and included a great deal of clips from old children's recordings.
The group later put out a controversial album titled Black Bastards in 1994 which had trouble getting released because of the controversial album cover, picturing a Sambo caricature getting hanged in a game of hangman (with the three letter "A"s the only letters not filled in). After the unexpected death of DJ Subroc during the production of that album (their second), his brother Zev Love X vanished from the music scene. Zev reappeared as MF DOOM (the MF standing for 'Metal Face') wearing a metal mask at all performances. His unusual style has earned him praise in many hip-hop circles.
KMD contained three members:
- Zev Love X (later called MF DOOM)
- DJ Subroc (Zev's younger brother, died in car accident)
- Onyx, the Birthstone Kid
