When Killer Mike & El-P got together to do an album, people were skeptical that the two could pump out anything good. A Southern MC rhyming over the Def Jux CEOs instrumentation? How would that sound? Mike compared the sound of R.A.P. Music with his last LP, Pl3dge. If you loved Pl3dge, you’re going to hate R(ebellious).A(frican).P(eople). Music.

Shortly after dropping Big Beast on the naysayers’s heads, Killer Mike gave Pitchfork a look at the tracklist. R.A.P. Music drops May 15th through Williams Street Recordings (Adult Swim’s label). Hit the jump for the tracklist.

01 Big Beast [ft. Bun B, T.I., and Trouble]
02 Untitled [ft. Scar]
03 Go!
04 Southern Fried
05 Jo Jo’s Chillin

08 Ghetto Gospel
09 Butane (Champion’s Anthem) [ft. El-P]
10 Anywhere But Here [ft. Emily Panic]

Much respect to HipHopDX for the scoop.
