The London-born musician, real name Daniel Dumile, was known for his sharp, intricate rhymes and his signature mask, which he never removed in public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In a post on the rapper’s Instagram account on Thursday, his wife Jasmine confirmed that he died on 31 October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

A number of artists have paid tribute to MF Doom including Run The Jewels and Tyler, The Creator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In a note addressed to the rapper, his wife paid tribute to “the greatest husband, father, teacher, student, business partner, lover and friend I could ever ask for”.<\/p>\n

\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

In 2004 he created what is widely regarded as his masterpiece album: Madvillainy, made with cratedigging producer Madlib, a dense, heady, soulful triumph of charismatic lyricism and brilliant sampling, and regarded by many music publications as one of the great albums of the decade.<\/p>\n

Profile raised, MF Doom embarked on further starry collaborations, including with Danger Mouse on The Mouse and the Mask, and Wu-Tang Clan rapper Ghostface Killah, producing tracks for his albums Fishscale and More Fish and rapping together on tracks including Angelz. Other partnerships would come with leftfield hip-hop figures like Czarface and Jneiro Jarel, plus Flying Lotus, the Avalanches, and more. He was remixed by Thom Yorke, and later collaborated with Yorke and Radiohead bandmate Jonny Greenwood on a track called Retarded Fren.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Dumile\u2019s son Malachi Ezekiel died aged 14. Dumile paid tribute on Instagram, calling him \u201cthe greatest son one could ask for. Safe journey and may all our ancestors greet you with open arms. One of our greatest inspirations. Thank you for allowing us to be your parents. Love you, Mali.\u201d<\/p>\n

El-P, Ty Dolla $ign and Tyler, the Creator were among the artists paying tribute to MF Doom on Twitter. Flying Lotus said \u201cmy soul is crushed\u201d, and added that the pair had been working on an EP together.\u00a0Hip-hop\u00a0radio DJ Peter Rosenberg called him \u201cone of the most influential, unique and brilliant MCs of all time\u201d.<\/p>\n

Acclaimed rap producer Kenny Beats wrote: \u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
