Bio

Since dropping his first 12” vinyl in 1993, Brooklyn’s Jaime Meline – aka EL-P, aka EL Producto – has been consistently breaking new ground with his innovative & indelibly unique approach to music and culture.
One of the most accomplished independent rappers & producers of all time, EL-P has gone from underground sensation with his first group (the legendary Company Flow), to launching a celebrated solo career & one of the most influential record labels of its era (Definitive Jux), to attaining worldwide acclaim with Killer Mike as rap superduo Run the Jewels.
Grammy-nominated, Gold-certified and deeply respected by peers & fans alike, he continues to strike a vital nerve in the world of music & beyond. Whether its crafting incredible musical & lyrical manifestos, raising mayhem with his deeply inappropriate & deranged spirit animal Mr. Killums, or having his lyrics quoted on the floor of the U.S. Senate by a congressperson during the impeachment trial of an American President, EL-P always keeps it interesting, and relevant.
