Prefuse 73 with Ghostface and El-P

Look, it says at the top that this is about Beijing music. Or at least music in China. But some things are too cool to pass up, this being one of them. Prefuse 73's new track, "Hideyaface," features Ghostface and El-p:

With his track "Hideyaface" already in rotation on New York's Hot 97, the biggest hip-hop station in the country, it looks as though Prefuse 73's Scott Herren is poised to infiltrate mainstream hip-hop, sneaking in shielded by the considerable brawn of Ghostface. That's a thrill, because Herren's glitchy, IDM-ish, sometimes just this side of incomprehensibly abstract beats are like nothing else out there.

I agree. To this day, Vocal Studies + Up-rock Narratives is one of my most listened to albums, and his work as Savath + Savalas is excellent, too. Now Herren's getting recognition, and his new album has collaborations with Books, Beans, and other greats. So what are you waiting for? Yeah, you've got to watch a little commercial or click through some ad about how great a credit card is, but this MP3 is worth it.
