Killer Mike and El-P Recording a New Album

This is pretty cool news…

If this is any indication of the album… HELL YEAH!!

“Just in case you haven’t been keeping up on Twitter. Killer Mike and El-P have been in the studio together for the past week or so. I’ve been kind of tied up myself so I didn’t really get a chance to stop by and see how things were sounding until this past Tuesday. It pretty much sounds like what you would expect from these two. Dark, dense, gritty, raw and any other adjective you can come up with to describe all things hard and rough around the edges. Everything that I heard was in phase one of the recording process, but, I’m looking forward to hearing how this turns out. The project they are recording for is titled R.A.P. Music (Rebellious African People Music). I coined the term in a random twitter rant I was on some months ago. Mike said he liked it and that inspired him to record a certain type of record and asked if he could use it. So yeah. The album will be put out by Adult Swim, in similar fashion to how they put out Witchdoctor’s last album. R.A.P. Music will also include production from a few of your other favorite “underground” producers and MC’s but I will leave Mike the pleasure of revealing those details as they develop. It is set to drop around mid-2011.” – MG
