Cannibal Ox
From Free net encyclopedia
Cannibal Ox is a hip hop music duo from Harlem, New York. Its members include Vast Aire and Vordul Mega (a.k.a. Vordul Megilah). In 2001, they released their debut, The Cold Vein, which drew rave reviews and comparisons to the 36 Chambers-era Wu-Tang Clan. A large part of the album's success is due to producer El-P, who crafts an incredible, empty soundscape. Cannibal Ox is a part of the Definitive Jux record label.
The group was rumored to have disbanded, but in 2003 fellow Definitive Jux rapper MURS said "By the way, Can Ox is not broken up, it's just a rumor" between tracks on fellow Definitive Jux rapper Aesop Rock's album Bazooka Tooth. November 2005 brought the release of a live album, "Return of the Ox: Live at CMJ," in the liner notes of which is the statement "Look out for the new full length LP by Cannibal Ox Summer of 06."
