Def Jux Presents Vol. 4 In-Stores September 1st; Super Group, The WeatherMen,
The Weathermen, consisting of Cage, El-p, Aesop Rock, Breezely Brewin (Jugganots),
Camu Tao (RIP), Tame One and Yak Ballz, release their first official single since
2003 as the second leak off the upcoming Def Jux Presents 4 from seminal underground
hip hop label Def Jux.
The group is a merging of artists who continue to push the boundaries of what is
considered acceptable in hip hop in both the mainstream and in the genre itself.
Within their own careers, The Weathermen are all accomplished musicians and
successful independent artists known for their fierce dedication to the craft and
fearless innovation of style and sound, as a collective they are simply a monster.
Over a decade out since it's formation the group has undergone some personnel change
and with the loss of Camu Tao the project has taken on a new meaning to both the
artists and fans alike. Camu was a touchstone in the lives of many of The
Weathermen, a great friend, and an inexplicably talented MC/ producer, his passing
has galvanized the crew. With new resolve and purpose The Weathermen have officially
taken to the studio to finally justify its cult-like following. Featured on DJXp4,
'Reports of A Possible Kidnapping' is the first song from their long threatened
collaborative album 'THE NEW LEFT' (being recorded now). 'Reports Of A Possible
Kidnapping', features indie rap giants Aesop Rock, El-p, and Cage (with an intro by
the late great Camu Tao) and is produced by Aesop Rock and El-p.
