Who or where Doc D comes from is a mystery as he\u2019s only appeared online and only with a mask. His first ever introduction was also a<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CKCcEGnlNDK\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\" target=\"_blank\"> drawn cartoon of the rapper <\/a>beside people who clearly weren\u2019t, causing many people to wonder whether he\u2019s even a real person or persona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doc D also has a striking resemblance to the late MF DOOM, who also known for dawning a Doctor Doom-like mask, as well as holding many aliases and alter egos. Logic, the man who signed Doc D, also happens to be a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/genius.com\/20415336\" target=\"_blank\">well documented MF DOOM fan<\/a> in addition to being the executive producer for Doc D&#8217;s entire album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few truisms in hip hop but none truer than this: retirement is temporary. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/blogs\/nme-blogs\/artists-dramatically-retired-then-came-back-2551854\" target=\"_blank\">Jay-Z, Lil Uzi Vert,<\/a> <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theringer.com\/2020\/7\/27\/21339518\/rapper-retirements-logic-no-pressure-jay-z-nicki-minaj-joe-budden\" target=\"_blank\">A Tribe Called Quest, 50 Cent and Mos Def<\/a> all said they were leaving at one point, and they all came back. Whether this is Logic\u2019s disguised comeback is unclear but it wouldn&#8217;t be the first and it definitely wont be the last time a rapper has gone back on their retirement plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the interview below for a chance to decide for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"768px\" src=\"https:\/\/story.interviewjs.io\/rKDZhiU41mTdqt5nP7JPyB\"> <\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New signee to Bobby Boy Records, Doctor Destruction, has dropped his debut sci-fi concept album, Planetory Destruction.
