El-P – I ll Sleep When You re Dead 2LP Discount

Fantastic Damage marked the beginning of El-P s career as a solo artist, following a groundbreaking career as frontman and producer of legendary NYC underground hip hop crew, Company Flow. Fan Dam was a foundational release for his fledgling record label Definitive Jux, which would soon establish itself as an iconic juggernaut of independent rap in the wake of trailblazing solo records by El-P and label mates Aesop Rock, Cannibal Ox, RJD2, Murs, and more. The template El-P established on Fantastic Damage – a singular aesthetic pairing futuristic, post B-Boy production style with insightful, provocative and often prescient subject matter – was met with accolades across the media landscape. After nearly four years of work, El-P released his second proper production album, I ll Sleep When You re Dead, featuring contributions from the Mars Volta, Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails, and Cat Power. The album has been widely unavailable since El-P put Def Jux on hiatus in 2010, making it ripe for rediscovery in the new music ecosystem due to El-P s monumental success with Run The Jewels. 15th anniversary vinyl 2LP reissue.
