History edit
On 15 February 2012 the website Pitchfork ran an article stating that JJ DOOM's debut album would be called Key to the Kuffs and released via Lex Records.[3] On 5 July 2012 Lex Records announced that the album was set for a worldwide release on 21 August 2012, and would feature appearances from Beth Gibbons, Khujo Goodie, Boston Fielder, and Damon Albarn.[4]
As of August 29, 2012, Key to the Kuffs sold 3,300 copies after debuting at number 148 on the Billboard 200.[5]
On August 19, 2013, an extended version, titled Key to the Kuffs (Butter Edition) was released, containing a bonus 9-track EP composed of new tracks and remixes.
After the death of MF Doom, a posthumous album is released, again in collaboration with Jneiro Jarel. The old Key to the Kuffs (Redux) is again available.
