DOOM and Bishop Nehru drop a collaborative album that's disappointingly short on stand-out material and chemistry.

NehruvianDOOM - "OM"
New TracksCommentFor months, there's been talk of an full-length collab between DOOM and Bishop Nehru, and we're getting the first taste of it with the song embedded above, "OM."
DOOM is a seasoned underground vet that's known for his eccentric rhymes, classic output, and ominous mask. However, Nehru is a relative unknown in the hip hop world. The young New York MC hasn't dropped many projects thus far, but DOOM has obviously heard some serious potential in Nehru--enough to risk collaborating on a project of this magnitude, anyway.
I think I'm hearing what DOOM's hearing as well. Nehru comes off confident and charismatic on "OM," and he's got flow and some clever rhymes, too. Even though he doesn't have the most distinctive voice in the game, I'll chalk it up to being young for now, and excitedly wait for him to come into his own.
Favorite line: "Am I being idolized, or am I a pair of idol eyes?"

Above you can check out the project's first single "Darkness (HBU)" and its video. Enjoy!
Nehru also did a thing with Disclosure recently. Check it here.
