El-P Premiers Fantastic Four Closing Credits Instrumental, "Another Body" on Beats 1 WRTJ Online Radio Show (Mass Appeal Records?)


Not only have veteran rapper-producers Killer Mike & El-P become something of long-overdue " Hip-Hop royalty," their now-infamous handgun and fist Run The Jewels (RTJ) hashtag-friendly logo has become forever immortalized on a batch of limited-run Marvel comic book covers. "One of my heroes, @therealelp, made a incredible instrumental piece for our end credits. I couldn't be any more excited," Fantastic Four re-boot director @joshuatrank exuberantly Tweeted nearly one month ago, forever cementing RTJ's legacy within The Marvel Universe; that very track, now titled "Another Body," was unveiled over this past weekend. First, in the form of a painfully brief 20-second snippet. Then, it was premiered on El-P & Killer Mike's Beats 1 online WRTJ radio show and now, it has been strategically leaked to The Internet in its full-length form. '"another body" produced by me with [co-production] by the gawd, @littleshalimar and expertly mixed by the lord, @joeyraia," @therealelp Tweeted in conjunction with the track's unofficial Saturday night debut. It's a gradually ascending and self-destructive spacey instrumental Hip-Hop track with subtle stylistic undertones of both Fantastic Four composer Philip Glass and master-beatsmith J Dilla.


El-P's nearly 6-minute brooding instrumental track, "Another Body," composed along with frequent in-studio collaborator Little Shalimar, will seemingly become available prior to Fantastic Four's upcoming August 7th theatrical release and "will be available for purchase soon in HI-FIDELITY SUPER AUDIO FIFELITY SCHMELITY!!!" El-P has additionally been logging studio time with a wide array of his producer-buddies including BOOTS, The Alchemist, Dan The Automator, Zola Jesus, Just Blaze, Baauer, Geoff Barrow, and newly-drafted Massive Attack. Run The Jewels' all-star crew has been feverishly working around the clock on an entirely cat sounds-composed Kickstarter-funded remix album of last year's Run The Jewels 2 (tentatively titled Meow The Jewels) with 100% of the profits collected to produce the $45,100 album going to charities benefiting victims of police brutality. " Meow The Jewels will be released to everyone for free as well as on limited deluxe edition vinyl," according to El-P and while an exact release date is still currently up in the air, "but if all goes right, it [will] drop in September."
