Listen: Cannibal Ox – “Iron Rose” ft. MF DOOM

NYC hip hop duo, MCs Vordul Mega and Vast Aire, aka Cannibal Ox have been perpetually making a comeback for quite some time now. Last year an EP was released to little fanfare but much curiosity and after a failed Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a proper full length, the guys seemingly pulled the cash together from someplace, and have finished their sophomore full-length, Blade Of The Ronin. Bill Cosmiq handled production, and features from the likes of MF DOOM, U-God, Elzhi, and Artifacts are said to be included. Our first taste from the record comes in the form of “Iron Rose” featuring the aforementioned MF DOOM. Look for the record to drop on March 3^rd.

A wealth of content is coming out of the Red Bull Music Academy today with this latest video of producer/emcee Jaime Meline, aka El-P, sharing some thoughts on his life and career. Topics discussed include but are not limited to: what the process of recording his albums is like, the drawbacks of being branded “Independent as Fuck,” his current relationship with one-time sworn enemy Rawkus Records, reflections on producing Cannibal Ox’s classic Cold Vein LP, and of course his latest project with Killer Mike, Run the Jewels. Grab some popcorn and a comfy seat as this one is just shy of two hours long.

Listen: Cannibal Ox – “Gotham’ (Ox City,)” “Gases In Hell’ (Inhale,) “’Psalm 82’”

We have been away from a computer since Wednesday so we have some catching up to do and we start strong with not one, not two, but three new Cannibal Ox‘s songs. After having launched a surprisingly unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign with the goal of raising $30,000 to fund a new album and only getting $5,439 from 132 people the duo composed of Vast & Vodul has some new music in the form of a maxi-single to share with us. Their long-overdue sophomore LP, which will be released in 2013 is still happening and for now you can enjoy the three new tracks below that will be available for purchase on 4-16-2013.
