El-P Is Drivin’ Down The Block Too
El-P is one seriously talented dude, even if we don’t always like his music. After Company Flow’s 1997 debut Funcrusher Plus became an underground classic, El-P left the group to found Def Jux and release a series of increasingly grating, esoteric solo albums that got love from his fanbase, but ultimately had zero impact on hip-hop in general.
While his last album showed signs of Producto rediscovering his in-the-pocket flow and apocalyptic bounce beats, his new remix of Kidz In The Hall’s “Driving Down The Block” confirms it—El-P is back on his bullshit! With a new beat and 1.5 original verses, he turns the Duck Down duo’s laid-back, retro banger into a cop-dodging anarchist anthem. Tomorrow and Saturday, the Kidz will be joining El-P and Dizzee Rascal when their spring tour comes to New York and Philly. Listen to the remix after the jump.

Anyone that hates on producto is not from NYC. Fuck accessible hip-hop. It was never supposed to be that way. Creative shit is where it is.
