Sounds LikeIt’s safe to say that El-P is the most wired rapper alive, if not the smartest. Whether it’s labyrinthine rhymes leaning heavily on the subcultural crutches of Star Trek, THX-1138, Blade Runner and The Twilight Zone or his dense digital soundtracking, the Definitive Jux mogul is plugged-in and proud of it. He’s also enriched with something that the majority of today’s hip-hop sadly lacks: unbridled passion. From his machine-gun delivery to his literate lyricism, El-P expects his listeners to know a thing or two. Those who dismiss hip-hop as materialistic crap need only listen to El-P’s stunning full-lengths Fantastic Damage and I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead to have their faith in the form rewarded. Give his dizzying confessional “To Serve Man” a listen, and don’t miss him live -WIRED MAGAZINE

   About EL-P
Home






the following was written by people trying to make me look cool: To simply say that El-P is serious about his music would be an understatement. Upon first listen to his upcoming album, I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, it's readily apparent that this record – a magnum opus 4 years in the making - represents a culmination of profound musical, personal, and political experiences reaching their tumultuous climax. This record is about the struggle faced by those living in a rapidly changing society, El himself calling this his post-traumatic stress album where he attempts to capture the political by representing the internal. Evoking vocals and production aesthetics so viscerally indicative of the current era, El-P has outdone himself yet again, effectively mastering his brand of cutting-edge head-nodders and pushing forward a genre that has long held him as an undisputed kingpin. I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead embodies everything that is El-P – a groundbreaking artist, virtuosic producer, profound lyricist, label founder, A&R maverick and underground icon reacting to the malignant societal changes occurring today – a very serious matter indeed. This record is an urgent document, a collective representation of a critical individual crossing their personal Rubicon, assessing the dismal reality inherent, and deciding to forge on despite the cost. With appearances by Trent Reznor, The Mars Volta, Cat Power, Aesop Rock, Cage, Matt Sweeney, Tame One, and others, this is an album poised to extend a genre into a new realm of artistic expression.

If your mind is truly open, if your sincerely ready for what might be a Big suprise to us all.... look into what might possibly be the Truth.

Search YouTube for: The Great Global Warming Swindle.

If not, then just go back to sleep. :-)

The show in Boston last week was dope. I had this great idea that I would try and get El-P to sign my funcrusherplus album cover but I forgot and left that shit in the car. Oh well. Stepfather Factory was unbelievable.
