Cannibal Ox

About

New York-based hip-hop duo Cannibal Ox is composed of rappers Vast Aire and Vordul Mega. The band's debut album The Cold Vein, released in 2001, was acclaimed for breaking hip-hop boundaries with its lyrics and production techniques. With rumors of the duo's split circulating the underground hip-hop community throughout the mid 2000s, Cannibal Ox released a live album in 2005 but commented that it had no plans for an LP. After dropping a record titled Selected Rarities and B-Sides in 2011, the duo announced its plans for a studio album, which was eventually released in 2013
