Frank151 recently caught up with Brooklyn-born graffiti artist KEO / SCOTCH 79, A.K.A. Blake Lethem, to talk about his long-standing creative relationship with Daniel Dumile, otherwise known as DOOM. Having first worked together on the cover-art of DOOM’s debut LP, Operation: Doomsday, the pair went on to conceive of DOOM’s signature silver mask; a means of creating a myth around the music, rather than the man. The above video offers an insightful look into the world of the groundbreaking MC and producer, through the eyes of a friend and co-conspirator.
