MF DOOM: Long Island to LeedsAuthor: BBC Sounds
A tribute to the enduring legacy of "your favourite rapper's favourite rapper", MF DOOM: Long Island To Leeds tells the tale of the surprising circumstances that led to one of the rap world's most idiosyncratic figures living out his final years in Yorkshire, England. AFRODEUTSCHE and Adam Batty tell the story of how a New York-based icon of hip hop found himself living in relative obscurity in the north of England, with the help of guest appearances from well-known fans and celebrated contemporaries such as Romesh Ranganathan and MC Paul Barman. MF DOOM features a specially composed soundtrack by Matt Helders of Arctic Monkeys.Presented by AFRODEUTSCHE and Adam Batty Writer and Producer: Adam Batty Senior Producer: Jarek Zaba Exec Producer: Ellie Clifford and Dino Sofos Original Score: Matt Helders Sound Designer and additional music: Jack Suddaby Artwork: Tom Cunningham Assistant Commissioner: Prabhjit Bains Commissioning Editor: Khaliq Meer MF DOOM: Long Island to Leeds is a Persephonica production with BBC Sounds Audio Lab.Thanks: Alexia Mackey, Elspeth Morrison, Andy Worrell, George Yates, Romesh Ranganathan, MC Paul Barman, Juice Aleem, Tyrone "T-Bone" Hyman,Peter "Digestor" Orsag, Thomas Crosbie, Alex De Mora, Maddi Fearn, Rob Conlon, Flo Howard, Olivia Strevens, Scott Gamble, Paul Hodgson, Jed Mountain, David 'Panda' Brown, Suzy Roylance, Clive Anderson, Danny Colligan, Sha Dessi, Katie Murphy, Josh Bower, Matthew Young, Caillin McDaid, Eve Jones, Janis Law, Ian Moreno-Melgar, Jamie Groovement.
