In 2006, Madvillain was featured on
Stones Throw Records and
Adult Swim's DVD/CD
Chrome Children with a new song and live performance.
Kidrobot followed this by announcing a Madvillain action figure. Madvillain's label
Stones Throw announced in 2009 that
MF Doom and
Madlib were currently working on a second Madvillain album. On May 26, 2010, Madvillain released the song "
Papermill" via
Adult Swim's website. On January 3, 2011, Madvillain released the songs "Avalanche" and a remix of the Doomstarks song "Victory Laps" via Stones Throw mixtape. In late 2011, during an interview at the Red Bull Music Academy in Madrid, MF Doom admitted that the second Madvillain album had been nearly done for about two years and that it should be out "soon", sometime after MF Doom finishes his part on it in "say, January" 2012. On September 6, 2012, MF Doom co-hosted
Benji B's late night
BBC Radio 1 show. As well as talking about the origins of Madvillain and what it was like to work with Madlib, he announced during the show that he just had to "touch up a couple of tracks" on the new Madvillain album and said that it should be out by the end of 2012, depending on when
Stones Throw choose to release it. On January 9, 2014, Madlib stated in a
Dazed & Confused interview that it is up to MF Doom to decide on whether he wants to finish the second Madvillain album, and that he does not have to. "It’s not close to finished because it has to be a continuation of the last one. It doesn't have to be better or worse but it has to be a continuation." MF Doom died on October 31, 2020, leaving the future of the project uncertain. In 2025, Stones Throw Records digitally re-released the original leaked version of
Madvillainy as the
Madvillainy Demo Tape. ==Discography==
