In an exclusive statement to Mixmag, the Rhymesayers Entertainment label co-founders El-P and Aesop Rock, who worked with DOOM prior to his passing, expressed their thoughts on the resolution.
Run The Jewels’ El-P said: “I’m super relieved to hear this news. Of course, I have my own personal memories and stories of the great DOOM that I hold dear. But the ether of the man also digs deeper with every new generation of artists that finds inspiration in his work. Therefore, keeping his private creations and thoughts where they belong is paramount for helping that continue.”
Aesop Rock added: “I’m happy to hear that the situation with DOOM’s personal notebooks seems to have been resolved in a way that the people closest to him are on board with.”
El-P and Aesop Rock released the collaborative album ‘Run The Jewels 4’ in 2020, which featured a posthumous verse from MF DOOM on the track ‘A Few Words For The Firing Squad (Radiation)’.
Thompson concluded the statement by expressing her appreciation to DOOM’s fans and colleagues for their support amid the dispute.
“Your unwavering support has been truly heartwarming. On behalf of DOOM’s family and myself, I’d like to say thank you,” she said.
