Ill Bill from Non-Phixion? I would say Ill Bill is back but I don’t know if he left. I coulda been at a dance party or listening white noise last time around. Whatever the case; here is a new Ill Bill song that is produced by and features El-P. And it’s apocalyptic in a timeless manner because the end of the world is always coming.
ILL BILL’s “The Grimy Awards” hits stores on 1-29-2013, featuring HR of Bad Brains, A-Trak, El-P, Jedi Mind Tricks, OC, Cormega, Meyhem Lauren, Q-Unique, Shabazz The Disciple & Lil Fame of M.O.P., with production from DJ Premier, DJ Muggs, Pete Rock, Large Professor, Psycho Les, El-P, Ayatollah, MoSS, C-Lance & ILL BILL himself.

Killer Mike is playing Ace of Cups in Columbus, Ohio November 9th.
Killer Mike’s El-P produced album “R.A.P Music” is easily one of the best albums of the year as it captures a down south everyman spirit with the bombastic conviction of early 90’s Public Enemy. So this was already a good show.
And it just got better as Envelope and Path have been added as the local support.
$13 in advance/$15 day of show. For more info visit Benco Presents.
After the jump revisit Envelope’s video for “You Want Me To Go” ft. Nikki Portman.

Sean Price releases this BBQ Sauce song with Pharoah Monch that white people cannot recite the chorus to. If I was performing live and I was also Pharoach Monch and Sean Price I would suggest that white people make an nword drinking game that every time time a rapper says the n-word they take a drink instead of yelling the n-word. Reverse Tricknology.
“BBQ Sauce” is produced by Evidence and has cuts by DJ Babu.
BBQ Sauce is off Sean Price’s ‘Mic Tyson’ album out October 30th on Duck Down Music.

Fat Possum Recording artists the Walkmen announced a tour with Father John Misty. The Walkmen will be coming to Columbus on 1/17 as they play the Newport Music Hall on January 17th. I believe this will give me over two months to elicit some sort of twitter response from Father John Misty.
The Walkmen are releasing a Dance With Your Partner/Vermeer 65′ limited edition 7″. The release is limited to 1000 copies and will be available on Tuesday, November 6th.

Sinkane’s new video for “Runnin”off his tremendous album MARS reminds me of an early 90’s Political Rap video as it has frontman Ahmed Gallab dressed as a radical political leader and getting assassinated.
MARS is in stores now on DFA Records.

This year’s recipient of the 14th Annual Wexner Prize, Annie Leibovitz (pictured above)will have a public discussion with the publisher of Rolling Stone Magazine Jann S. Wenner (pictured below) on Friday, November 9th in the Mershon Auditorium at the Wexner Center at 5:30 pm.
Leibovitz and Wenner have been friends for a longtime so this should be a very insightful conversation between two people that have interacted with and documented a good bulk of what has defined American Culture during the past 40 Years.
If you have visited Leibovitz’s current Wexner exhibit then you already know that she has shot everyone from the Queen of England to P. Diddy to Arnold Schwarzenegger to Cindy Sherman to the Rolling Stones.
Wenner and Leibovitz have a lot to talk about.
Tickets to this historic conversation are $20 general public, $15 Wexner Center members and seniors, and free for students. They are available here.
Leibovitz will receive the Wexner Prize during a private ceremony the following day on November 10th which is the 23rd Anniversary of the Wexner Center.
After the jump view a list of previous Wexner Prize Winners….
