This time, it's not a game. Cannibal Ox is getting the band back together! Can Ox will be taking their legendary music on the road from New York to California, starting with a December 9th show at The Knitting Factory. This is great news for anyone that has followed them since they released the monumental album "The Cold Vein" on Def Jux Records. The Reunion Tour has already been written up in Stereogum and Brooklyn Vegan, so I'm expecting this to be a highly successful tour for the Ox. I've known and admired Vast Aire and Vordul Mega since college and really nothing makes me happier than to share the news that not only are they performing live again, but are planning on recording their second LP! The two have remained active with their solo ventures, with both Vast and Vordul releasing albums through their respective labels. I've personally heard some of Vordul's new stuff, and I can't wait until it's out. Vast has been keeping the promo material coming, and yesterday put out the video for Bongs Full/The Ingredient, a rendition of Kendrick Lamar's best songs IMO Swimming Pools and The Recipe.
Vast keeps it light-hearted and fun as he flips lyrics over two dope beats made popular by the current hottest rap ticket in town. Vast has always been a versatile emcee, and he shows that he can rock over smooth mainstream beats just as well as grungy underground or spaced out hip hop. Be sure to catch Cannibal Ox in New York on December 9th; you can get tickets here. Stay posted for more tour dates coming soon, and and word on the street is that you'll be seeing this author on the West Coast live along with the Ox. Cannibal O...handle you slow!
