And by no means were me and him super close friends, but whenever we saw each other, it was on,” he said, adding that he found out about DOOM’s death the same time as everyone did. In an interview with HipHopDX, Sean “Slug” Daley touched on the realization that DOOM’s contribution for “Barcade” could have been the last verse the late rapper recorded. “Barcade” is part of Atmosphere’s latest release Word?, which also features the likes of Evidence, Muja Messiah, Musab, Nino Bless, Nikki Jean, Anwar HighSign, BlackLiq, Sa-Roc, Haphduzn and Lateef the Truthspeaker.
The cut arrives with an accompanying visual that follows a video game hero facing different types of bosses - one of them being DOOM’s iconic mask as an intergalactic spaceship.
