El-P Discusses His New Album, Brush With Death

11/7/06, 1:31 pm EST


Indie hip-hop producer-rapper El-P, who founded the Definitive Jux label (home to Cannibal Ox, RJD2, and Aesop Rock), gave us an exclusive preview of his new album, I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, which includes collaborations with a slew of hip heavyweights including Trent Reznor, Cat Power’s Chan Marshall and Mars Volta’s Cedric Bixler-Zavala. The Mars Volta frontman sings on a track called “Tasmanian Pain Coaster,” Marshall appears on “Poisonville Kids,” and Reznor’s tortured vocals are subtlely mixed into the dense soup of “Flyentology.” El-P (Jaime Melone) tells us he wrote the song after a plane engine exploded during a recent flight home from Costa Rica. “Everyone was freaking out, people were praying, some people seemed ready to go,” he tells us. “I found myself coming up with my own brand of religion called ‘Flyentology’.”

El-P (Irregular Preditor With Bad Brain Magic)It’s about time bro. It’s like music was put on hold, at least till March!

Doppelganger3814 | 12/3/2006, 10:12 am EST

This is the most anticipated album for 07′ in my opinion. I cant wait to here the rest of it, because the 2 tracks I’ve heard are insane. “Everythings exactly how it seems, and it seems that I am cying…crying” Dope…

_DefJuxIntern_ | 11/28/2006, 8:13 pm EST

Nice. I cant believe you made it El. You really made it. It. Now what you gonna do? Go home and wait for it. It.

el’s production on SLOW SUICIDE STIMULUS’ “smalltown” is possibly his best work to date. I love that jawn!

challa860records | 11/19/2006, 2:48 pm EST

El-P is the most original producers and m.c. of his time. I got nothing bad to say about the man at all. Just don’t make us wait so long for another album. The radio sucks!

waldos home | 11/16/2006, 8:25 pm EST

uffffffffff!!!! it’s great….long live el-p

maurice | 11/13/2006, 3:05 am EST

he’s great.. he see thing a different way.. he’s a leader that peoples follow.. i’m sure this album will be great.. not easy to listen to at the beginning but im sure when u get used to it.. it’ll be another classic

jsado | 11/12/2006, 8:26 pm EST

El producto - Its about time one of my faves dropped a new album. The radio is ridiculous and the best emcees wait YEARS between drops. Kinda makes it tough on the fans.

your Mom | 11/12/2006, 7:54 pm EST

EL-P was a part of Funcrusher Plus -Company Flow was industry changing music

not important | 11/12/2006, 4:30 pm EST

i guess thats what he looks like when he eats to many percacets

Eric | 11/11/2006, 7:25 pm EST

just drop the fuckin lp already and move on to the can ox project.

spag | 11/10/2006, 12:23 pm EST

EL-P is dope for ever
