KMD, an acronym first for Kausin' Much Damage and then Kause in a Much Damaged Society, was a hip hop group formed in the late 1980s by brothers Zev Love X (Daniel Dumile Thompson) and Subroc (Dingilizwe Dumile), and Alonzo Hodge, aka Onyx The Birthstone Kid. Immediately following the death of Subroc in 1993, when KMD was in the middle of producing its second album, Bl_ck-B_st_rds, Elektra dropped the group from its roster. The death of his brother and being cut by Elektra led Zev Love X to retreat from the industry and ultimately resurface as MF Doom.
