Current events got me thinking of this classic banger. Many will only know El-P for his more recent work as the frankly better half of Run The Jewels but that's a shame because his solo albums are phenomenal as was his work with Company Flow not to mention his work with other artists like Cannibal Ox, Aesop Rock, and other artists on El-Ps "Definitive Jux" label. He leaned hard into a dystopian, industrial, spacey, maybe even cyberpunk kind of sound, especially on his favorite album of mine "I'll Sleep When You're Dead". Dealing with themes of substance abuse, addiction, domestic violence, disillusionment, and strong anti government sentiment. This song, Drones over Bklyn, paints a picture of a seedy, violent New York city scape where life is cheap and the drones are hovering above you, somewhere, and you can't even see them. For more songs in an anti establishment vein, check out "Dear Sirs" or "$4 Vic/ Nothing But Me and You" or "For My Upstairs Neighbor". Other favorites of mine include "Deep Space 9mm", "Tuned Mass Damper", "Tasmanian Pain Coaster", "The League of Extraordinary Nobodies", and "Poisenville Kids No Wins".
