Chin Chin and Cage both have east coast dates on December 12th, and both are worth checking out!! (Chin Chin Here, Cage Here)

Aesop Rock has gotten some more glowing press for his guest spots on the new DJ Signify album 'Of Cities' - XLR8R has the story. The Mighty Underdogs also got some love on their video for 'I want you Back'- So Much Silence has the story.

Yak Ballz wants to show you some live footage from "Coffee Break For Heroes and Villains" Radio show on WFMU 91.1:

Phew, hope that helped you all work off some of your turkey stupor, more tomorrow.

New Aesop Rock/ Jeremy Fish Collaboration!!

Aesop Speaks on a new collaboration with Jeremy Fish (and you can add in a little El-P + Dj Big Wiz)

Hey All

on december 4th, Jeremy Fish's new art show "Ghosts of the Barbary
Coast" will open in San Francisco at gallery 50/24SF, 248 Fillmore
Street.

I made some original music for the show. The song i did will be on
repeat the night of the opening, and available to show-goers in
limited quantity alongside a Jeremy Fish print (on a small wooden
plank). The print will be adorned with a miniature usb hard-drive
containing the original music with lyrics, as well as a digital show
catalog, and hopefully some other cool stuff.

buy a print, get some rap.

song "Tomorrow Morning" is produced by aesop rock. additional chorus
vocals by el-p. scratches by dj big wiz.

once we get rid of the drives and prints we will most likely make the
music available on the definitive jux website (www.definitivejux.net)

more info soon.

The Weekend Jux

defcon — Fri, 7 Nov 2008 18:34:43 -0500

The Weekend is Here!!

And we have some sorrowful news to impart, The Mighty Underdogs have cancelled the middle leg of their tour (those are any dates between now and the 17th - Check Here) . We apologize to all of those who bought tickets and supported, we love you all out there and are grateful for your patronage. Contact the ticket distributor for a refund!

In other news, we here at Jux are on the verge of a ten year anniversary, El-P Talks to Rosenberg Radio about it...

And the Mighty Underdogs get another great review!!!

"The silly and the serious
How is it doing this? Subtle satire.
Tracks such as “Gunfight,” with its surreal Wild, Wild West motif along with “Ill Vacation,” mock the violence and audacious bragging of pop rap, while at the same time presenting lyrics with much more substance than many current stars."

El's First Time...

El-P In The NY Press Top 20

defcon — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 14:16:59 -0400

The NY Press recently released their definitive list of the top 20 Bands/Artists currently out right now, we will refer you to #10;

10. El-P
Since the early days of Company Flow, El-P has been one of the major forces in hip-hop. Between running hip-hop's best label, Definitive Jux, with acts like Cage, Aesop Rock and Del The Funky Homosapien, and putting out his own brilliant 2007 record I'll Sleep When You're Dead, there’s no better name in NYC hip-hop. Sorry, Kanye.
Essential track: Up All Night
