Album Notes & Community Reviews

El-P's 'Cancer 4 Cure' is a dystopian, dense, and bombastic hip-hop record that served as a prelude to his Run the Jewels success. The production is layered and futuristic, matching El-P's paranoid, sci-fi tinged lyrics about societal collapse. It is a high-intensity, maximalist album that showcases one of rap's most innovative producers at the top of his game.
