The 20th-anniversary edition of Mm..Food? comes with new artwork by Sam Rodriguez, and the deluxe vinyl tacks on a bonus 7″ picture disc with the rare original version of “Kookies” and a Just Blaze remix.

Plus, Super7 Collectible is rolling out exclusive merchandise for the reissue, including an MF Doom action figure and cereal bowl set.
MF Doom, who was born Dumile Daniel Thompson in the United Kingdom and moved back to England with his family in 2010, died in Leeds on October 31, 2020, after a severe reaction to a blood pressure medication. According to his widow, Jasmine Dumile Thompson, he was diagnosed with angioedema, a rare and sudden form of swelling that inhibited his breathing, and medics kept him on a respirator until his death. He was 49 years old.
Following the news of his death, countless artists paid tribute to the late rapper, including Tyler, the Creator, Flying Lotus, El-P, and his longtime collaborator Madlib. Czarface dropped the new album Super What?, which he had recorded with MF Doom; the Avalanches unveiled a remix that the late rapper did of their song; and Thom Yorke honored him with his second remix of “Gazzillion Ear.” Plus Atmosphere, Your Old Droog, and IDK all shared previously unreleased songs featuring the late rapper.
