Critical Beatdown is widely regarded as one of the best hip-hip albums of all time, released in 1988 during the "golden age" of hip hop. However UMC seems to get lost in the shuffle amongst other golden age artists like Public Enemy, KRS-One, Tribe Called Quest, Run DMC and others.
He recorded under a number of aliases, each with their own back story and personalities.
I'll be posting his first albums recorded under the aliases Dr. Octagon and Dr. Dooom. As well as the album Critical Beatdown
Dr. Octagon is an extraterrestrial, time-traveling, gynecologist and surgeon from the planet Jupiter.
Dr. Dooom is a serial killer who has a fondness for "cannibalism, pet rats, and Flintstones vitamins" who poses as a patient to gain access to Dr. Octagon and then kills him.
