As I reported several weeks ago (along with everybody else), today
(actually tonight) marks the beginning of the El-P, Dizzee Rascal and Busdriver tour.
Dubbed the No Chiefs Allowed tour, the month-long trek co-stars gutter
music advocate Aaron LaCrate (Dizzee's DJ), Mr. Dibbs (El's DJ) and
multimedia artist/MC the Mighty Quin (El's hypeman), and Mush
producer/A&R dude Antimc (Bus' DJ). But wait, there's more! Dapper
Chi-Town dudes Kidz in the Hall and snarky rapper Aesop Rock will
appear as special guests on, uh, special dates.
As an added bonus, El-P is selling a tour-only item, Weareallgoingtoburninhellmegamixx2,
a two-CD sequel to his 2003 mix compilation of odds and sods. He has
also launched a blog, "Bastard's Delight," on okayplayer.com. Once
there, you'll find a stream of El's remix for Kidz in the Hall's
"Driving Down the Block." Check it out after peeping the tour dates
