The collaboration also features contributions from such luminaries as DJ Shadow, Mr. Lif, Damian “JR Gong” Marley, and MF Doom, among others. “Dropping..”‘s other-worldly atmosphere is one where Monsters have gun fights in old west towns, identities are kept secret as a principle, and not all super heroes’ intentions are what they seem.
