Underground hip-hop icon MF Doom has signed a new deal with his current label, Rhymesayers, which will make the labelheads his new managers. So now, in addition to releasing most of Doom's future albums, Rhymesayers will also take over planning of the Metalhead's touring and merchandising. Merchandising... plushie Dooms? Viktor Vaughn action figures? Madvillain comic books? Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Rather, the first release under the new contract will be MM Food, Doom's first album not released under the guise of one of his many alter-egos since his 2001 debut, Operation Doomsday.

Additionally, Rhymesayers has also secured a brand new distribution deal: MM Food, along with all other Rhymesayers releases, will now be handled by The Navarre Corporation-- so when the highly anticipated new album finally drops on November 16th, you won't have to wait an extra couple days for that package to arrive from Sandbox Automatic. Rhymesayers' decision to go with Navarre went beyond the scope of their simple distribution, according to the label's President and CEO: "Not only are [Navarre] based in our hometown of Minnesota but they are also a true independent distributor which was extremely appealing to us as a self-made independent label." (Wait, Minnesota is a town now? Are we losing the war to Canada?) Preorders for the new album will begin October 24th.

Now, Doom understands that his fans are just sitting around with their silver masks on, waiting super impatiently for the release of MM Food-- particularly since Venomous Villain left something to be desired. So he's gonna make a concession: "Hoecakes". Yes, the album's first single is set to precede the release of MM Food, and will come backed with a B-side titled "Potholders", as well as an Anticon remix of the title track. Though no official release date has been confirmed, Rhymesayers is planning to issue it sometime next month.
