JJ DOOM x ESPO In 'The Making Of Bookhead'

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

JJ DOOM takes fans behind the scenes of the video for their single "Bookhead", directed by legendary street artist Steve "ESPO" Powers. The documentary footage from NOISEY finds the deviant artists teaming up in the U.K. to shoot and deliver the final cut of a video that features an epic moment in hip-hop history as DOOM trades his old mask in for a new one. His latest accessory is unveiled and featured heavily in the footage - a mash of shots that are constructed to watch you as you are watching them. For those hoping the change of costume might reveal a bit more of DOOM's face, you may be disappointed that this new mask does more to conceal his identity than the metal-faced classic. What you will love, however, is the clever execution and melodrama that the mirror images produce. Check the footage below for the full story. No word yet on whether the latest mask is permanent.
