Cannibal Ox's Vast Aire Kramer and Vordul Megala Shamar have struck a cold vein in hip-hop and come up with digital gold.
Digging for dignity in an iron galaxy, to raise human tragedy beyond the small fl print of the crime pages, these rap Vikings write rhymes in the blood of the slain, spit-sacred thought in the service of salvation.
With production by Company Flow's El-P (who also appears on the group's ghetto-vaudeville theme tune "Ox out the Cage" and the industry-sniping "Ridiculoid"), the backdrop to their rap reality-myth is a drone-heavy matrix of gritty, atomised funk and reconstructed beats.

 Cannibal Ox :: The Cold Vein :: Def Jux
But right now, abstract hip-hop hasn't had a notable album in a minute, previously adored underground emcees are going stale and the midwest hasn't established enough of a sound to flood the mainstream yet with clones.
Given this brief, theoretical market-cornering, Can Ox could easily use their ample mic skills to prove that NYC underground still has some raw, weird creative talent.
The beats aren't bangers the whole way through; "Ox Out the Cage" almost hurts and I'm not really feeling the video game flavor of "Real Earth." But "Iron Galaxy," the fucked up drums on "Vein," the 80's metal-synth of "The F-Word" and the almost normal-sounding "Painkillers" all slam pretty hard.

El-P (of the influential indie hip hop crew Company Flow) masterminds the entire project with gritty, evocative beats whose lo-fi crackle almost obscures the lush texture of the music.

Currently, the hottest flash in the game is Cannibal Ox, a Harlem duo that has set a new standard in hip-hop with its long-awaited debut LP The Cold Vein.
What prevents The Cold Vein from wallowing in a depressing mire is its demand that listeners emancipate themselves, or "Scream Phoenix" -- Cannibal Ox's trademark phrase adopted as a cry for social uprising.
This album is one of those rare slabs that crosses borders and will excite fans of unapologetic music -- people who understand that some records are infinitely more rewarding after exacting a pound of the listeners' flesh.

 Review - Cannibal Ox: The Cold Vein
When you're sick to death of So & So running their mouths about how "it's just gonna be all right," or eventually tire of hearing punk as decoded by rednecks/jocks, open up and say aaah to NYC's Cannibal Ox.
Cannibal Ox are onto some grimy Cyborg thuds that resonate with realism, and are unfit for people who customarily listen to hip-hop to be a vicarious sociopath or a porno star.
The Cannibal Ox track "Ridiculoid" was originally meant for that particular album.

Can Ox's The Cold Vein was one of the biggest albums to come out when I was in college and the beginning of one hell of a two year run for Definitive Jux.
According to the press release, the as-of-yet untitled LP is due for an '06 release and will be released in the same quarter as El-P's follow up to his 2002 solo release, the highly acclaimed Fantastic Damage.
Once again, I was under the impression their career was over after they had their ass handed to them (nh) by Esoteric and a bunch of Boston cats (as if there could be anything more laughable) on the Vinyl Thugs mixtape a while big.

 El-P: Cannibal Oxtrumentals - PopMatters Music Review
It was pure content/form time, spooky dubbed-out cyberpunk stuff that complimented the Ox's hardcore worldview like spicy fries compliment a veggie burger.
The only way that this album disappoints is in comparison to the original -- Cannibal Ox are just too disarming with their shattered selves and their desperate cries for love in a world gone frosty for me not to miss their fractured flow.
But Cannibal Oxtrumentals is a nice bracer anyway, a great soundscape album that escapes a lot of cliches and sets a new standard for what a hip-hop producer can accomplish.
