The most talented label in hip hop today is looking to show it off. Definitive Jux has had a busy year with six releases to date and at least one more to come. Among those with albums, El-P (Fantastic Damage), Mr Lif (Emergency Rations EP and I Phantom), and RJD2 (Dead Ringer) will be joined by a few Def Jux affiliates. Blueprint, who is one half of Soul Position with RJ, will be performing to promote their new album. A couple of other indy superheroes will be there as well, namely Eastern Conference’s Copywrite and Cage. Both emcees have dropped albums this year (both very dope) and are both part of the supergroup, The Weathermen, that will release an album on Def Jux in the future.
