    The production on Key To The Kuffs, DOOM's album with Jneiro Jarel, pushes DOOM out of his comfort zone.

    Though Keys to the Kuffs is no magnum opus, occupying a place just a notch under Take Me To Your Leader in terms of execution, it is an important step for the veteran.

    Key to the Kuffs certainly finds one of underground music's true antiheros in irresistibly infectious form.

    It's a decent but underwhelming album, and one that inspires apathy more than adoration or disgust.
