El-P - Cancer For Cure

It's not exactly news that El-P has made a new album, but there's finally a release and a track from the album available to download.:

Company Flow mastermind El-P will return with his first solo LP in five years, Cancer for Cure, on May 22nd via Fat Possum. As Pitchfork reports, the album includes collaborations with Danny Brown, Interpol’s Paul Banks, Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire, and Killer Mike, among others.

finally.

excellent.

!!!!

Man, I've been rocking sleep while you're dead constantly since it was released. This is good news.

I hope this entire album is self-produced. Really like the track he's shared, sounds like it could have been on ISWYD.

I'm a huge fan of the last We Are All Going to Burn in Hell Megamix. Always enjoyed EL-P's production since I was introduced to it circa 2000. I haven't necessarily followed him, nor do I regularly, so the news is news to me, and I'm excited. Just can't help but wonder if he's got anything with his now-defunct Def Jux crew. Aesop? Lif? Vast? Well, Cage has kinda gone emo, so I don't know if I look forward to anything from him anymore.

mindblowingly astoundingly good

Love his instrumentals but can't stand his raps. Will give it a listen for sure.

Is this going to be on the album?

Yup. Seem's like lazerface is a bit of a soothsayer.

Don't count on it. For one El-P wrote on his Facebook page a few months back there's no way he'll ever collaborate with Cannibal Ox again and in the case of Mr. Lif it looked like he jumped ship in 2009 when he set up Bloodbot Tactical Enterprises. Things with Aesop and Cage are still possible I guess, although I wouldn't be suprised if they begin to drift apart due to new label ties and collaborated far less often than before.

Thanks so much for posting this.

the combination of this news and the sample track took my mood from wanting to smash random shit at work to "something akin to happiness." (John Krakauer)

El-P also produced the new Killer Mike record, R.A.P Music. It's out the week before, on 15th May.

nice trailer but didn't really get it

Looks like Chassis with lighter eyebrows.

I'm stoked for this, it's gotten pretty high ratings on rate your music so far.

anyone here splashing the $85 for the g-money deluxe package?

Anyone know if the signed posters for the deluxe package are hand signed or printed? Wouldn't mind paying a bit more if it's actually signed, but don't want to be ripped off if it's just a tacky print.

Album drops May 22nd (Europe / UK May 28th via Turnstile)!

Was looking forward to this record, now I have to wait an extra week

Great, great Album. El-P delivers again...

Have to say, I really like "The Full Retard". I've never b een a big fan of El-P (tho, Linda Tripp is hilarious), but I like that track.

this is just great!

I love that he haven't ditched his "Boogie Down Productions on acid" sound from I'll Sleep When You're Dead.
