Madvillain was an American hip hop supergroup formed in 2002, consisting of rapper MF Doom and producer Madlib.
Their intricate rhymes and lyrics, short song structures and use of obscure, stylistically diverse samples made for a sound that was generally unfriendly to commercial radio but was lauded for its influence on underground rap.
A follow-up album to Madvillainy was rumored to be in production at various times since the late 2000s,[1] but no further original material has surfaced from the duo since 2010, and MF DOOM's death in 2020 has left the future of the project uncertain.
In 2006, Madvillain was featured on Stones Throw Records and Adult Swim's DVD/CD Chrome Children with a new song and live performance.
[7] On January 9, 2014, Madlib stated in a Dazed & Confused interview that it is up to MF DOOM to decide on whether he wants to finish the second Madvillain album, and that he does not have to.
