Independent rap icon El-P returns to Australia this February to play two special headline shows and the Laneway Festival.
The ‘Cancer For Cure’ album marks his first full length rap album since 2007’s critically acclaimed I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, though El-P’s rap trajectory has been on a steady ascent following a prolific year that saw high profile appearances on Das Racist’s mixtape and debut album, a hugely buzzed Adult Swim single “Drones Over BKLYN”.
Cancer For Cure takes another huge leap forward from the production work of his 2010 instrumental album weareallgoingtoburninhellmeggamixxx. The obvious diversion from the previous album is the presence of El-P’s ever-developing vocal style, continuing to raise the bar on his already highly verbose flow. The album is rounded out by feature appearances by guests including Killer Mike, Danny Brown, Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire, Paul Banks (Interpol).
With a commanding live show which has not toured Australia since February 2009, El-P’s return to Australia shores is an event not to be missed this February.
