El-P - Cancer For Cure Fat Possum Records: 2012 "I wouldn't want to be a part of any club that would have me," El-P offers on his stellar new album Cancer for Cure . Let's consider this statement for a second. What clubs has been associated with during his storied career? El-P has always been a great team player. From his beats for masterpieces like Cannibal Ox's The Cold Vein (which still ranks as my all-time favorite rap album) to Aesop Rock's Labor Days from his days as head of Def Jux-he has [...]

Cancer for Cure begins by making you feel as if you're slowly waking up from a nightmare. An encroaching tension grows around you as the sound of an alarm pulls you into the grip of El-P's reality, then suddenly a voice comes on the loudspeaker and tells you to get your ass outta bed and into the yard. Wake up! The revolution started yesterday - you're late! Here's an update: we're losing, and the reality is worse than the nightmare. "Request Denied" takes off and doesn't slow down for 3 minutes at which point El drops a rapid-fire [...]

Featuring guest appearances from Interpol's Paul Banks, Killer Mike, Danny Brown, Nick Diamonds and more.

The Blogger Formerly Known as Faraone would have loved this p0ast. This post is just begging out for a true Def Jux fan boy to write it, and I'll be the first to admit I'm a poor substitute for one. The whole rapping about geometry and laser beams and backpacks kind of passed me by back when I was in middle school listening to Puffy or whatever, and it never quite took even later on. But since then a lot has changed. El-P has seen Def Jux melt away into nostalgia, their roster scattered [...]

We've heard a few cuts from the album, the best being the dizzying first single "The Full Retard." El-P is bringing out Cure For Cancer just weeks after Killer Mikes' career-defining R.A.P. Music (which he executive produced). In short, Jaime Meline is having the best month of his career and perhaps the best year also. You can stream the [...]

Underground rap legend El-P has delivered a solo resurgence after five years, in one week. First, he executively produced Killer Mike's latest opus, RAP Music , which, by all accounts, is a force to be reckoned with. Now, we get to hear his newest solo album, Cancer for Cure . Get excited, El-P is the source of some of the most progressive hip-hop in the past 20 years, and it looks like he's in something of a creative renaissance right now, and determined to turn out some great albums. C4C is all [...]

We've been following El-P pretty closely the last few months, ever since he released "The Full Retard" and announced the May 22nd drop of his third solo album, Cancer For Cure . In between, he also produced Killer Mike's recently released R.A.P. Music , and got Company Flow back together for their first ever Chicago performance . He talked about all those in things in detail during our really fresh interview , and has us pretty excited for his new album. For those of you that want to [...]

El-P, the rapper/producer most responsible for the past decade and a half of skronky, chaotic underground rap, is on a serious tear lately. He produced all of R.A.P. Music , the utterly badass new album from Killer Mike, and it's the first album he's produced in full for someone else since Cannibal Ox's classic The Cold Vein . And he's also got Cancer For Cure , his own hard-as-fuck new solo album coming out next week; it's his first proper studio album since 20072s I'll Sleep When You're Dead . The album [...]

There are the essential albums that need to be in everyone's collection. There are the personal favorites, the ones that aren't highly acclaimed but still get played every once in a while. And then there are the albums that you stick in the back of your collection because you want to forget that you spent money on them. "Own It or Disown It" gives the writer the opportunity to look at such discarded albums and determine if they are diamonds in the rough or if they deserve to be used as mini-frisbees. [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Politics as Usual Fat Possum When legendary indie rapper-producer El-P took the stage at Pitchfork 's SXSW dayparty, he introduced his agit-rap jam "Up All Night" by boasting about his last visit to the festival in 2008, when he was booed for saying there was no difference between Barack Obama , Hillary Clinton and John McCain .

El-P "Drones Over Bkyln" El-P has been specializing in heavy, discordant rap tracks for over a decade now, but his compositions on his new record Cancer For Cure and Killer Mike's R.A.P. Music are a new high water mark for art. There's something desperate and hungry at the core of this stuff; each beat broadcasts an angry restlessness. El-P owes a lot of his style to the innovations of the Bomb Squad and the RZA during their peak periods – the rhythms seem jagged and harsh, instrumental riffs are fashioned from scraps [...]

• El-P - Drones Over Bklyn

From It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back to Young Jeezy's "My President Is Black" , political hip-hop has long been a dicey proposition for consumers. Some find the subgenre downright empowering, capable of attaching concise near-sloganeering to ideas that might need a little more forthrightness for maximum effect (think "Fight the Power" , obviously). Others, especially those keen on the beats and escapism of some rap, brand it insufferably in-your-face and prolix. With Killer Mike , both types of listeners can find solace, as the Atlanta denizen keeps his zeal on [...]
