Dr. Octagonecologyst is the 1996 debut album by Dr. Octagon, an alter ego of hip-hop legend Kool Keith.  The LP introduces the character of Dr. Octagon, a homicidal, extraterrestrial, time-traveling gynecologist, and surgeon. Kool Keith’s eccentric and often bizarre lyrics explore themes of medicine, space travel, and oddball characters, creating a distinctive sound that redefined underground hip-hop.    The abstract, often outrageously comedic storytelling is perfectly complimented by complex, futuristic beats produced by Dan the Automator and genius turntablism by the legendary DJ Q-Bert. It’s hard to exaggerate the role that Dr. Octagon played in revitalizing underground hip-hop. He represented the first truly new, genuine alternative to commercial hip-hop, continuing to gain popularity as a true hip-hop cult classic.   Presented as a 2LP with a gatefold jacket for the first time, the vinyl is pressed on bone with red splatter and black splatter vinyls, including the bonus tracks and a limited-edition, turntable slipmat feature the cover art image by the artist, Pushead.
