Who Is This Man? In this case, the man is John Robinson. Formerly known as Lil Sci from Scienz of Life, a group who had put outrecords on Bobbito Garcia’s Fondle ‘Em imprint and Sub Verse Music in the late 90s and early 2000s. Robinson later went on torelease his debut solo album I Am Not For Sale, followed by a collaborative effort called Lil Sci and Carlos Niño present What’s TheScience? After working with John on previous projects such as King Ghedoraah and multiple Scienz of Life albums, MF Doomsuggested they embark on a full-length concept album, to be executive produced by The Villain himself where Lil Sci would take on hisgovernment name, John Robinson. The result is Who Is This Man?, an incredible group of songs produced entirely by Doom, with DJRhettmatic of the World Famous Beat Junkies laying down all the cuts. The album was completed four years ago but due tocomplications it remained in limbo and unreleased. Fast forward to 2009 and the project has been picked up by the good folks at HighWater Music and will finally get the official release it deserves. Who Is This Man? showcases Doom’s diversity as a producer andcontains arguably the best display of his talents from behind the boards since his debut album Doomsday. From the dark tone of“Black Gold” to the melodic love tale of “There She Goes”, this album is filled with Doom’s signature sound bites and production style.He also lends a verse to the album’s closing track “Sorcerers”. John Robinson shows incredible lyrical range throughout the album, likeon “Indy 102” where he breaks down the indie Hip Hop grind or on the aforementioned “Black Gold” with its social commentary on thewar for oil. Join John Robinson and MF Doom on this journey and see if you can figure out who this man really is...
