The story
Legendary rapper and producer El-P has announced an extensive reissue campaign of his full solo catalog via independent powerhouse Fat Possum Records, kicking off with the digital release of I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, available on streaming services for the very first time since its initial release in 2007 on El-P’s own iconic record label Definitive Jux.
A masterpiece of progressive rap music, ISWYD features collaborations with friends and peers Trent Reznor, Mars Volta, Cat Power and more, in addition to musical contributions from James McNew (Yo La Tengo), guitarist Matt Sweeney, and the late Ikey Owens. His trademark cosmic boom-bap production style is wrapped in sophisticated musicality and textured composition, paired with razor sharp, insightful rhymes that are equally dystopian, humorous, and poetic, charting a path for a generation of artists to follow in his footsteps.
