Over the weekend, Rockstar Games released a collaborative song between MF DOOM and BADBADNOTGOOD called “The Chocolate Conquistadors”. The song is included as part of the latest update for the Grand Theft Auto Online video game series, which includes the new story “The Cayo Perico Heist” along with new music for the game.
This marks the second collaboration between the British MC and the Canadian jazz outfit after they teamed up on”Ray Gun” from BADBAD’s 2015 album with Ghostface Killah, Sour Soul. The downloadable content (DLC) for Grand Theft Auto Online also includes updates to Flying Lotus‘ in-game radio station FlyLo FM featuring new music from MadLib, DOOM, and Flying Lotus.
The song is hosted on the GTA Online station WorldWide FM and, as the track’s title may suggest, carries an international flavor. This 7-minute groove opens with a couple of solid minutes of MF DOOM—born Daniel Dumile—rapping in Spanish displaying his expert verbiage in even a foreign tongue.
The backbeat, supplied by BADBADNOTGOOD, coasts the song along as DOOM eventually makes the switch to his native tongue while painting a picture of imperialism from mythical chocolate conquistadors. While the song stretches on for a comfortable seven minutes, DOOM is done in about five and lets BADBAD jam out the last couple of minutes.
Listen to MF DOOM and BADBADNOTGOOD collaborate on “The Chocolate Conquistadors” for GTA Online.
