Not that you need a good reason to sample Rush's "Tom Sawyer," but El-P has a couple. For starters and most important, this remix of "Drones Over Bklyn" – a song that was released as part of Adult Swim's Singles Program over the summer – serves as a benefit for fellow (uninsured) producer Mr. Dibbs, who has been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. All proceeds of the sales of the song will go to a fund set up for Dibbs. Second, El-P is using a new technology from Legitmix [...]

As well, you can read what [...]
This new El-P track, stemming from " Drones Over Bklyn ," except with a redone beat that samples Rush's "Tom Sawyer," comes courtesy of a new technology called Legitmix. Simply put, this technology puts the whole sample-clearing mess to rest. It's still new and I can see a few reasons why it might have a hard time taking off, but here's the idea: "When a consumer purchases "Rush Over Bkyln", the browser-based Legitmix software searches their computer for the "Tom Sawyer" track. If they don't have it they can purchase it from Legitmix or any online [...]
Although it's been a crazy trip for New York rapper El-P since his last proper album I'll Sleep When You're Dead in 2007, devoted fans won't have to wait much longer for a new record.

Proceeds from the sale of this new remixed track "Rush Over Bklyn" will go to the fund set up for Dibbs, which you can also donate to here . "Rush [...]
Recognize the title? If you do, you may recall El-P 's "Drones Over Brooklyn," part of Adult Swim 's 2011 Singles Program . This version has El-P versing over Rush's " Tom Sawyer " (you know, "do-da-do-do-do, do-da-do-da-do-do) - legally, might I add. The mix was a sample-based push put through Legitmix , which lets DJ's and others legally sample things, for whatever reason I haven't figured out. Also, BUY the single. It'll help fellow DJ Mr. Dibbs who has liver disease. Listen below.

The legendary skronk-rap producer/MC El-P is enjoying a bit of a career resurgence lately, on the back of Company Flow's reunion and his recent work with Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire. He's also got a new album, Cancer For Cure , arriving next year. And now he's remixed " Drones Over BKLYN ," the track he released for free as part of Adult Swim's Singles Series earlier this year. For the remix, he's chopped up a (legal!) sample of "Tom Sawyer," the Camaro anthem from prog deities Rush, and the result is both dope as fuck and entirely in [...]
The amazing El-P has just released Rush Over BKLYN in order to raise funds for DJ/producer Mr. Dibbs. Dibbs is currently battling Cirrhosis, the final phase of chronic liver disease: Thanks to America's healthcare system (or lack thereof), the cost of his treatment has reached astronomical levels in just one month's time. Dibbs is no longer able to work due to his debilitating condition, so we're kindly requesting that people step up and help ease the financial pains while he deals with the physical ones. Any amount would help. To donate money you can go [...]

You better stay aloof when the troops move/ the suicide booths soothe/ the who's who of looters shoot, the bullets go 'zoom, zoom'... Holy shit there is new El-P music, from his forthcoming LP Cancer for Cure on Fat Possum. This has the same tangible of event as when he previewed the unmixed "Tasmanian Pain Coaster" from ISWYD on Gilles Peterson's Radio 1 show, and "Drones Over BKLYN" lives up to expectations.
