Prolific hip hop guru El-P is wordy, paranoid and a devout sci-fi fan, and does a mean sideline in highly memorable remixes for artists as diverse as Das Racist and Dizzee Rascal. In the two decades he’s been active, he’s been committed to only releasing high quality works, and May’s release of his fourth studio ‘Cancer 4 Cure’ is no exception. Lead single ‘The Full Retard’’s delightful video of squirrel puppets living the coke-sniffin’, ho-lovin’ rap lifestyle shows his subversive humour’s still in place and his DJ sets are renowned as highly skilled and fun.
