I first heard El-P in 2004 when I was about 11 or 12 years old. Found him through Cannibal Ox from tony hawks underground in 2003. Looked them up and found Def Jux records where I found EL-P, Mr Lif, Aesop Rock and others. For context, I was a Linkin Park fan and the only rap I knew was Eminem, 50 Cent, Lil John, etc and wasn't much of a fan. Once I discovered this whole other genre of hip hop/rap it just made more sense to me. It was like, hip hop and rap can be more than guns, money, women, drugs, narcissism, etc...definitely had an impact on me at a young age growing up. I could connect with the anger found within rock music like Linkin Park and other bands, and even though I didn't understand any of the lyrics from El P, CanOx or Aesop, I knew there was a deeper message somewhere in there. Something about the messages being so obscure and hidden resonated with me, I appreciated the lack of bluntness and straightforwardness to the lyrics. It gave me an additional outlet of music to connect with in a different way than I was used to. Prior to his success with RTJ, I had never met another person who knew who EL-P or Aesop Rock was.

We tried to get some exclusive shit or free stuff. In that Office someone told us that 9th Wonder and Murs will do a record together. Which was in the end Murray's Revenge.
