El-P’s Fat Possum debut Cancer For Cure still doesn’t have a release date, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been busy. After mixing Rush’s “Tom Saywer” into his latest single back in October, his latest mix brings together an even less likely combination: Prince and Metallica.
“I was asking people who follow me on Twitter about who the most anti downloading/digital music musicians were and we landed on Metallica (who I dont give a shit about) and Prince (who is one of my biggest influences),” said El-P to Consequence of Sound, who premiered the track earlier this afternoon.
“For fun, I put this thing together comprised of Metallica’s ‘Unforgiven Part 2’ and Prince’s ‘Purple Rain.'”
