About El-P

Jamie “El-P” Meline is a rapper, producer, and entrepreneur who has helped to define the sound and aesthetic of underground hip-hop, starting in the mid-1990’s.

Meline’s early work, with the group Company Flow, gave listeners an idea of his style — both music and lyrics were dense, aggressive, and science-fiction laced. He would refine his style on his two critically acclaimed solo albums, Fantastic Damage and I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, as well as a number of instrumental-only outings and collaborations. He also founded the influential (and now sadly defunct) record label Def Jux, which put out now-classic releases from Cannibal Ox, Aesop Rock, and more.

Meline has as of 2011 signed to Fat Possum Records, and is working on a follow-up to ISWYD. Fans of his unique and powerful style look forward to its release
