In January 2014, during an interview with
The Village Voice,
Bishop Nehru spoke about the album, saying: "Well it's titled
NehruvianDoom. It's Doom producing the beats and I'm rapping over them, though he's going to be on some of the songs too. We don't have any outside features, it's just me and him." He explained how the album came about, saying: "I met Doom for the first time a couple of months ago when I went to London. It was my first time out there, I opened for him and
Ghostface at the
100 Club and I just happened to run into him after the show and we met like that and we kicked it and talked like that."
MF Doom added: "As like a compilation of sounds, all of them hold they own weight but as one whole thing, a piece, it's going to be a very informative piece. It's going to be that joint... To me, everything happened organically and it's still going organically, so it's hard to explain it as it's happening. It just is what it is." ==Critical response==
