Definitive Jux Brings Funcrusher Plus Back Into Print

"When sales control stats, I place no faith in the majority," El-P rapped on Company Flow's 1997 underground classic Funcrusher Plus, which revitalized indie-hop at the turn of the millennium.

So who better to bring the influential release, which has been out of print since 2006, back into circulation?

El-P's hardy label Definitive Jux plans to reissue Funcrusher Plus, an extended version of Company Flow's knockout 1996 EP Funcrusher, in May on vinyl, disc and digital.

Thanks to the wonders of technological compression, the digital version will include early Company Flow singles "Juvenile Techniques" and "Corners 94," as well as later tracks like "DPA," "Simian Drugs" and the brilliant, moody and ridiculously hard to find "Simple."

Those still hanging onto their obsolete discs have been suitably warned.
