EVENT: El-P with Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire, Killer Mike, and Despot @Irving Plaza (7/13)


Founder of the legendary underground hip-hop label, Def Jux, El-P, aka El Producto, is one of hip-hop’s most obstinate and adventurous pioneers, combining a lo-fi old-school aesthetic with a progressive rock musician’s inclination to push boundaries. In the mid-’90s, he developed a cult fanbase with the groundbreaking trio Company Flow, and their heralded debut LP Funcrusher Plus. Over the group’s auspicious stint together, he proved he was himself capable of intense lyricism as well as sonic production so powerful it could stand on its own.

Despite a short stint of reunion shows, including Coachella 2012, Company Flow has long disbanded. However, El-P has enjoyed a resurgence of late, producing music for buzzing MCs like Killer Mike, Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire and Sierra Leone Reggae stars, Bajah + the Dry Eye Crew.

BLAX Gears Up For 2012

Photo by Dirty Souf Yankee
Rising star and unsigned rapper BLAX rings in the New Year off the heels of a breakthrough 2011. After only one year in the Big Apple, the Milwaukee native has quickly established himself as a true talent and force in the New York City hip-hop scene.

The Brooklyn-resident is fresh off a highly-visible and accomplished year. In addition to
releasing two fan-favorite mixtapes – The Blaxploitation Part I & II – BLAX, formerly referred
to as Adebisi, received a complimentary review from former music executive and tastemaker Jeff
Sledge on the respected allindstrom.com.

Adding to his momentum, BLAX was selected by allhiphop.com as one of the “Top 25 Unsigned
Artists of 2011”.

“Being recognized by industry mainstays Jeff Sledge and allhiphop.com means that all the work
I’ve put into my career is paying off,” stated BLAX. “People are starting to take notice and it’s
truly humbling.”

Describing his music as adult-contemporary hip hop, BLAX brings a fresh perspective to the
industry. Armed with a smooth delivery and soulful lyrics, BLAX takes listeners on a feel-good,
socially stimulating ride through his life experiences, hopes and dreams.


BLAX returns to the stage this week, Thursday, January 5th, for his first performance of 2012 at
Greenwich Village favorite, Grisly Pear (107 MacDougal). For more information on the show,
please check out www.thegrislypear.com.
