EL-P’s magnum opus. Four years in the making, I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, is a culmination of EL-P’s profound musical, personal and political experiences delivered at the height of his power. Thirteen tracks featuring guest spots from TRENT REZNOR, MARS VOLTA, CAT POWER, AESOP ROCK, CAGE, MATT SWEENEY, and TAME ONE. "Nothing here is superfluous or inane; like his fellow heavyweight Ghostface, the density of metaphoric and visual content is incredible…that’s what Hip Hop has always been about at its core—and that’s why El-P remains so intoxicating."—Rap Reviews.
