Music: Hip-Hop Dr. Octagon

  • 1250329548_l_large

The inimitable Kool Keith returns for another go 'round in his bawdy, bizarre Dr. Octagon persona. Keith has performed under innumerable aliases, but Octagon continues to be his best known — his near-classic 1996 album Dr. Octagonecologyst matched Dan "the Automator" Nakamura's futuristic production with Doc Oc's stream-of-consciousness patter to otherworldly effect. Controversy plagued the 2006 release of The Return of Dr. Octagon, though Keith has hardly let it slow him down, releasing albums since as Mr. Nogatco and Project Polaroid. The former Ultramagnetic MC's artistic restlessness and endless unpredictability make him a true hip-hop anomaly, and a total pleasure to experience.
