El-P helped pioneer the indie-rap movement, first with his revered group Company Flow and later with his record label Definitive Jux...He commands respect in rock as well as rap circles

Nothing here is superfluous or inane; like his fellow heavyweight Ghostface, the density of metaphoric and visual content is incredible...that's what Hip Hop has always been about at its core - and that's why El-P remains so intoxicating.

...I'll Sleep When You're Dead is revealed as one of the most powerful hip-hop albums of 2007. While Public Enemy exposed the hypocrisy and greed of the '80s, El-P reflects his era just as well; the sense of stress is palpable, an 'after the end of the world' feeling that's waiting anxiously for something else to be born.
