Blam! Monday Fire!

the fire
"Hideyaface" by Prefuse 73 -- This is it, the ultimate Prefuse 73 collabo, featuring Ghostface and El-P - wha?!?

Prefuse 73, is the (mostly) Hip-Hop guise of Scott Herren - he also works as Savath & Savalas, Delarosa & Asora, Piano Overlord and Ahmad Szabo - he wowed audiences and critics alike with his first album Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives and more recent album One Word Extinguisher, both really stellar album.

P73 takes his production up a notch on this one, the lead single for the new album Surrounded by Silence (which comes out this spring on WARP). As far as I'm concerned, this is the best vocal-hip-hop he's ever produced, with a banging track that perfectly matches the fire Ghost and El-P are spitting.

And talk about fire, right? Ghostface Killah, arguably the best solo Wu-Tang artist, still fresh off his Pretty Toney album, meeting up with reknowned producer, former Company Flow member, CEO of Definitive Jux records, and rapper El-P? Sweet jesus, talk about a match made hip-hop heaven.

Hideyaface!

PS: Shoutout to James on his new(ish) music-blog, Headphonesex - check out the new WARP signing, Maximo Park, as well as some other fav's like new Daft and remixed Annie.

> the El-P remix is vastly superior

i'd be surprised if this was true as this version is double-blazin' and El-p is one of the most overrated cats in underground hip hop, but do u have a link so i can check it out?
