DJ Tape Deck King (aka T.D.K) presents a special Double A-side single featuring two rare recordings from two of Hip-Hop's biggest icons.
The first track comes from, underground legend, M.F. DOOM. Originally featured on the 'Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito Show', in December 1994, this demo version of one of DOOM's most well known tracks, 'Gas Drawls' (which was later re-recorded, and released, on 12" in 1997, alongside 'Dead Bent' and 'Hey, and then, re-recorded again, for the album 'Operation: DOOMSDAY' in 1999), sees, the former KMD frontman, Zev Love X's transition into, the super villain, M.F. DOOM after the death of his brother DJ SubRoc. Taken from T.D.K's, critically acclaimed, underground mixtape 'Gas Drawls: The Birth of DOOM' -

The second track comes from Eminem (fresh off of a dope run of underground features between 1998-1999) and, the late, MC Proof (alongside Paul Rosenberg) on the '1FM Rap Show', from early 1999, doing promo for 'The Slim Shady LP'. During the session Em and Proof dropped freestyle rhymes over the '4,3,2,1' and 'Hate Me Now' instrumentals, however, the freestyle that gets hugely overlooked, from that show, was the one over Redman's 'Pick it Up' beat. This track is a true example of Eminem and Proof's amazing chemistry over a truly dope instrumental that compliments everyone involved (even Paul). Taken from T.D.K's, underground, mixtape 'Low, Down & Dirty: The Birth of Slim Shady' -
