Currently in exile in England, DOOM teams with producer Jneiro Jarel for a collection featuring Damon Albarn and Portishead's Beth Gibbons, among others. The rapper's nothing if not adaptable, and his sense of humor is always present, even when there's good reason to be disillusioned.

Following the success of 2004’s Madvillainy and 2005’s The Mouse And The Mask
Rapper / producer Omar Gilyard's two LPs under the Jneiro Jarel moniker were mercurial, genre-bending experiences taking in broken beat, electronic influences and roots music.
