El-P - I'll Sleep When You're Dead

OK - been listening to this on my way to work at 8 hundred hours - really gets the blood pumping. For those of you un familiar - el-p is the dopeness. Insane hyper-contemporary hip-hop, maybe even futuristic. He's like a scene from some sci-fi, post-apocolyptic, blade runnerish, mad maxian, desolationistis.... yeah. Creative guy - lyrics are layered and at first listen sound angry, but keep listening, more like 'determined' (ok angry too). His production is on another level too - I think thats his bread and butter - hyper, layers on layers, electronic, old skule boom bap, just a fierce blend of aggro sound... Tracks: Run the Numbers is the tastiest followed by No Kings... was disappointed that the track with Cat Power on it kinda sucked... Wonder if Baby Pearson would like to take a listen - pretty advanced tho - an acquired taste for sure. Thanks to brother BT for turning me on to El-P - oh and btw - he is one ugly some of a basket...
