EL-P announces tour with Killer Mike, new album drops May 22 on Fat Possum

EL-P ANNOUNCES TOUR WITH KILLER MIKE, MR. MUTHAFUCKIN’ EXQUIRE AND DESPOT IN SUPPORT OF NEW ALBUM CANCER4CURE ON FAT POSSUM MAY 22ND (TOUR PRESENTED BY KARMALOOP)

LISTEN TO NEXT TRACK FROM ALBUM, “TOUGHER COLDER KILLER” FEAT. KILLER MIKE AND DESPOT ON PITCHFORK 


In anticipation of the tour, El has chosen to bless listeners with another preview off the album, the steely, speaker-shattering “Tougher Colder Killer” which finds El penning an apology to the mother of a man he killed on the battlefield and descends into a savage back-and-forth between himself, Despot, and Killer Mike (for whom El-P recently produced an entire album). Cancer4Cure is among El’s most cohesive accomplishments to date- an unflinching dissection of personal, popular and political conflict from a legendary innovator of the genre, the album is completely self-produced and offers prescience of the next wave of maximal, thought-provoking, hardcore rap that he pioneered, and does so not a moment too soon.
