Aesop Rock, El P
Dead Light / Train Buffer 12"
Increase Font Size
Decrease Font SizeEditor's Review:
As members of the Def Jux crew - perhaps the most renown crew currently crafting
independent hip-hop - El P and Aesop Rock have gained a steamrolling notoriety
for the relentless cleverness and fuck-you stature of their rhymes. This, the
first in a series dubbed Urban Renewal Program, is just another example
of the duo's dynamic nature on the mic. Both cuts are destined for "classic"
status. El P's "Dead Light" is a steady-rolling number based a robo-organic
beat over which El P serves the minions of the rap industry. Aesop's "Train
Buffer" is a bit more immediate in its apocalyptic nature, utilizing a
marching rhythmic track to hold down Aesop's off-kilter verses and strangely
catchy hooks. This 12" vinyl also includes, of course, clean and instrumental
versions of these songs.
