5. MF DOOM in Leeds

The final tragic years of MF DOOM’s eventful life were spent in Leeds. AFRODEUTSCHE and Adam Batty make their way to the city to track him down to unlikely spaces including a working men’s club and a remote-control car shop. The final episode of MF DOOM: Long Island to Leeds looks at the circumstances of Daniel Dumile’s passing, and sees the supervillain celebrated in death as an adopted son of the city that he would eventually call home.
