El-P interview

Read my interview with one of my all time favorite rappers El-P here.

It was done for BeatRoute Vancouver, and was also my first phone interview. I ended up having to cut about 3/4 of it for print, which was a shame as it was all really interesting.

Above is a photo of me and El-P from the Vancouver show on the weekend.
