British Electronic Producer Skylab 3's Official Remix of Cannibal Ox & MF Doom’s “Iron Rose”

British electronic producer Skylab 3 continues to impress with his official remix for the viral hit “Iron Rose” by Cannibal Ox featuring MF Doom. Staying in-tune with the original, Skylab graces the track with pounding percussions, while adding a unique touch of airy synths and strings to mix.

At the close of 2013, Skylab 3 released a 3 track sampler to give the world a taste of his music.  Among the tracks on the sampler was “Shine,” which went on to be featured in the 2014 cult film Kid Cannabis.  The song was also included on the film’s soundtrack, released later that year.  Over the past year, Skylab has been busy working on his debut album, A View From Above, which will be released later this year.

Pitchfork Premiere: Stream Cannibal Ox's Sophomore Album "Blade of the Ronin"

Purchase Blade of the Ronin on iTunes

An air of mystique surrounds the careers of Harlemites Vast Aire and Vordul Mega, collectively known as Cannibal Ox. Fourteen years after earning their status as luminaries of underground hip-hop, Cannibal Ox is set to release the highly-anticipated sophomore album,

Blade of the Ronin

. Serving as the follow-up to the duo’s acclaimed debut album,

Blade of the Ronin

is the embodiment of Vast and Vordul’s years of creation and properly serves to provide listeners with the grimy yet futuristic soundscape that they’ve come to expect from Cannibal Ox. In 2001, Cannibal Ox released its debut album,

The Cold Vein

, which remains one of the seminal works of the New York hip-hop scene. Regarded as a cult classic amongst hip-hop purists,

The Cold Vein

has been ranked as #152 on Pitchfork’s “Top 200 Albums of the 2000s” list. Not surprisingly Pitchfork previously concluded, “

The Cold Vein is going to be on everybody’s year end list of the best underground hip-hop

,” and that it was, as the album received perfect ratings from publications such as Stylus Magazine and HipHopDX. In November 2014, The Village Voice ranked the track “Pigeon” from The Cold Vein #22 on its All-Time Top 40 Songs About New York list (“Big Apple Records”). The Voice went on to praise The Cold Vein, remarking,

“the early-2000s underground hip-hop scene in New York offered a hyper-experimental take on the culture’s foundations, with the location of the genre’s birthplace giving these creations instant credibility. One of the best results came in the form of Cannibal Ox’s The Cold Vein.

” Since the success of

The Cold Vein

, Cannibal Ox has largely maintained their independent, enigmatic persona, shying away from the glowing heat of the mainstream limelight. In 2005, the duo released

Return of the Ox: Live at CMJ

, a live album recorded at the CMJ Music Marathon in New York, but otherwise remained relatively off the radar as a collective with exception of Vast and Vordul appearing on each other’s solo endeavors. In 2013, Cannibal Ox re-emerged with a maxi-single entitled Gotham, which included three tracks produced by a widely unknown yet remarkably talented producer by the name of BILL COSMIQ. Upon listening to the project’s title track, fans were taken aback by how the duo still sounded in its prime. As Spin Magazine declared, “while it doesn’t sound like a day has passed since Vein, Vast and Vordul were always spitting from the future.” Gotham would go on to be re-released as a Deluxe LP Edition along with the first reissue of The Cold Vein in nearly a decade as part of Cannibal Ox’s partnership with iHipHop Distribution.

Today, Cannibal Ox is letting fans hear their highly-anticipated sophomore album exclusively via Pitchfork.

Blade of the Ronin

solidifies the triumphant return of Cannibal Ox as the kings of underground hip-hop, as Vast and Vordul capture their trademark sound with BILL COSMIQ at the helm for the majority of the album’s production. Together, this trio has created an album that personifies a sense of insightful lyricism and poignant production that has arguably been absent from the scene since

The Cold Vein

. The album also features tremendous guest appearances from MF Doom, U-God (of Wu-Tang Clan), Elzhi, Artifacts and more, all of whom compliment the vibe of Can Ox.

Blade of the Ronin

will hit stores worldwide on March 3rd via IGC Records / iHipHop Distribution.

Cannibal Ox Releases Deluxe Editions of The Cold Vein and Gotham, Preps Sophomore Album

An air of mystery and mystique surrounds the careers of Harlemites Vast Aire and Vordul Mega. The duo released its acclaimed debut, The Cold Vein, in 2001 which remains one of the seminal works of the underground New York hip-hop scene. ​

The Cold Vein, originally released on Def Jux Records, drew significant praise from critics and the underground community alike. On The Cold Vein, Vast and Vordul paint a dark, murky canvas of New York with brutally honest lyrics and clever wordplay, over gutter instrumentals from producer El-P. The album was widely considered to be a cult classic amongst hip-hop purists. In 2009, it was listed as #152 on Pitchfork’s “Top 200 Albums of the 2000s” list. Not surprisingly Pitchfork previously concluded, "The Cold Vein is going to be on everybody's year end list of the best underground hip-hop," and that it was, as the album received perfect ratings from publications such as Stylus Magazine and HipHopDX. ​After years of being out-of-print, Cannibal Ox has partnered with iHipHop Distribution to re-release The Cold Vein. The Cold Vein (Deluxe Edition) features artwork based on the original release and includes a 2 page collage displaying the history of the group. It comes with an instrumental version of the album as well. The album is being released as a quadruple white vinyl double-gatefold set which includes a large version of this collage. The album has been digitally remastered so fans can enjoy this gem like never before. Additionally, the group is releasing Gotham (Deluxe LP Edition). This record features three new tracks that had only previously been released as part of a vinyl maxi-single as well as 12 rare and unreleased Cannibal Ox tracks including tracks that had only previously been released on hard-to-find vinyl singles. Together these Cannibal Ox releases are a must-have item for any fan of the Harlem duo. ​

Now after a headlining performance at the A3C Hip-Hop Festival and a recent New York City performance at Trademark Da Skydiver's album release party, Vast Aire and Vordul Mega are preparing their currently untitled sophomore album for a 2014 release date through IGC's partnership with iHipHop Distribution. Eric Bayruns, the A&R at iHipHop Distribution responsible for signing Cannibal Ox, says, "It’s an exciting time. Vast and Vordul are making incredible music for their sophomore album. The music is up-to-par with and in some cases better than the music that they made on their classic 'Cold Vein' yet it’s still both new and fresh. Long story short, Cannibal Ox is about to give fans another classic they can enjoy for years to come." ​ To reinvigorate their brand and to galvanize their fan base prior to the release of their sophomore album, Cannibal Ox will soon formally announce “The Cold Vein” Tour with worldwide dates featuring their performance of the entire Cold Vein album.
