With El-P announcing that indie label Definitive Jux was going on hiatus, the homie Vega went ahead and put together a massive compilation of some of his personal favorite Def Jux tracks. Featuring the likes of Cage, Aesop Rock, Cannibal Ox, El-P, Camu Tao, RJD2, Mr. Lif, Murs & 9th Wonder, C-Rayz Walz and many more. Damn, looking at the tracklist I’m reminded of how many classic records this crew has put out there. UPDATE: Brought this back to the top as I took the time out to tag the files properly. Now it should show up all nice on your iPod/Zune.

No, the label isn’t going the way of the dodo, but El-Producto is essentially stepping down from his position. Check out what he has to say about the whole matter down bottom.
Another fresh cut off Danny’s upcoming album, Where is Danny?, dropping in September (hopefully) via Def Jux. Look for collabs with Danny Brown, Che Grand and Drake coming soon as well.

While I’m still waiting for a tagless version of the Weathermen joint I dropped back in mid-June, here goes another joint off Def Jux’ latest installment of their Definitive Jux Presents compilation series (which drops September 1st). And I figure since a few of you got excited when you saw Ratatat on the KiD CuDi tracklist, this would please ya’ll.

In response to Cage’s comments (shown in the block quote below) about Vast’s relationship with Camu Tao (Rest in Peace).
It bothered me very much to see a lot of his enemies claiming this Love they had for him the day after he passed but none when he was dying for a year and a half. Some of you made it right with him before he died. I can understand except one person and in honor of Tero a true shit starter and fire ignitor I would like to out VAST AIRE you are a LIAR and Camu hated you and you know it. You shit on him when you knew he was dying. You disrespected his fiancee weeks after his passing with disrespectful emails.
Whatever the case may be… this shit is depressing. If both of ya’ll were close to Camu why disrespect him by using his name and life as a reason to beef? And even if this wasn’t about Camu… the track was still underwhelming. Anyone remember the Esoteric, Cage, Copywrite, El-P diss tracks? 7700 Years to Date, 9 Lashes, Mercy Killing, Haterama, Do It, etc. There was so much heat from every person involved with that beef. I might have to make a post about that shit. Shouts to Vega.

When I posted the latest Jet Audio track (w/ Mickey Factz, Outasight, CurT@!n$ & Danny!) I realized it’s been a minute since I heard from dude. Sure enough this morning he hits me with the b-side to his Mr. Lif assisted single from his upcoming album on Definitive Jux, Where Is Danny?. Also, word on the internets is that D will be featured on Drake’s debut as well. Big moves…

El-P puts his twist on the Brooklyn outfit’s funk. Even if you’ve heard Chin Chin before, you haven’t heard them like this. Def Jux’d the fuck out! And while you’re being sonically transported to the dark side of Atlanta be sure to vote for Chin Chin’s Go There With You video on MTVu’s Freshman Countdown. Shouts to the homegirl Katy!

2dbz premiere of Junk Science’s (Brooklyn duo of Baje One on the mic and DJ Snafu on the beats; reppin’ Embedded Music x Definitive Jux x Nuclear Family) new video off their upcoming release, A Miraculous Kind of Machine, dropping later this year. The really dope thing about this video is that it cost nothing as Baje states…
This is recession art. We made this video for zero dollars without ever stepping foot outside of our apartment. It only looks good because it was shot and directed and edited by Andrew Gura who is the motherfucking man who makes videos for Nas and Snoop and other famous people but who also happens to be a down-to-earth cool dude who just loves to do videos.
