“Talk to the hand sock puppet.”

El-P’s anticipated new album, Cancer For Cure, drops next week Tuesday.  Last night he was on David Letterman, where he performed the cut, “Stay Down” featuring Nick Diamonds.  The song is pretty intricate, changing pace and tempo and becoming very dense it parts.  That is what I enjoy most about El-P’s music, the way he is able to marry a traditional Hip Hop style with layered production and outside elements.  Get a sense of what I’m talking about in the video below.
