Description
See Album Reviews for Kidz in the Hall. El-P’s I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead was a highlight of the rap game last year: The record is a gripping (and totally uncommercial) portrait of the instability and paranoia that blanket our mediascape. Dizzee Rascal’s third LP, Maths + English, finally got a physical U.S. release this year, courtesy of El’s Definitive Jux label. Dizzee has always been tough for Yanks to understand, both literally and conceptually—it’s primarily critics and other music snobs who appreciate his records over here. Since we’re both critics and snobs, we can truthfully say we’re damn happy to see Dizzee touring the States.
