Following up with the mysterious collaborative project between DOOM and Akomplice, we at Highsnobiety give you a first look at the contents inside the intriguing nailed-shut crate.

In 400 of the boxes there is a limited co-branded pocket watch, 130 boxes are packaged with a brass telescope, while a limited set of 70 boxes come with a compass, which has the logos nicely engraved on the lid.

One of the most prized items in each box is undoubtedly the red cassette tape featuring DOOM/STARKS “Victory Laps(MadVillianzRemix)”, an unreleased track off the highly rumored and anticipated collaborative album between DOOM and Ghostface Killah. Each package also includes an exclusive tee printed with the DOOM mask cloaked in a red themed camouflage, a postcard as well as assorted faux red rubies and actual river rocks.

Finally, there is a treasure map which acts as a key card that will ultimately unlock the location of actual buried DOOM and Akomplice ‘treasures’. To the collectors, let the hunt begin.

More images follow after the click.

Some might say its sacrilege to revisit a classic album like Madvillainy. You know, like George Lucas messing around with Star Wars and digitally inserting Jabba The Hut rapping with Han Solo. But Madlib’s never been one to respect convention – and he made this one for headphone listening while on a ten-hour plane ride to Tokyo.
This album will only be available through the Stonesthrow website, which just relaunched with a new online store. The box set consists of:
CD: Madvillainy “2” The Madlib Remix. 25 tracks.  
7-INCH: “One Beer (Drunk Version)” Madlib’s original 2004 version, lost until recently on the floor of his Bomb Shelter studio. If you saw the studio you’d understand.
CASSETTE: The Madvillainy Demo Tape. 12 tracks, 36 minutes. This is the first and only official release of the infamous Madvillain demo that “leaked into cyberspace,” while the album was still in progress, as DOOM alludes to in the lyrics of “Rhinestone Cowboy.”
T-SHIRT: Nominated. Best Rolled L’s. Madvillain shirt.
COMIC BOOK: Meanwhile… the continuation of the All Caps video, included with the CD.
THE BOX: 12×13x3 inches. Wrapped in silver like DOOM’s mask.
You can get it now here.

J. Dilla’s Donuts provided a base for both Ghostface and M.F. Doom to land rhymes in 2005. Some of the tracks found light on Ghost’s 2006 Def Jam release Fishscale. Others, some due to appear on the Dilla Doom collaborative project, were shelved after Dilla’s untimely passing. For the launch of Stones Throw’s new webstore, at the end of this month, two of the buried tracks will surface. "Sniperlite" and "Murder Goons" are sure to be must have additions to the ipod or zune play list.
