Cage @ Slim's

Description

Definitive Jux is proud to present "Depart From Me" - the latest full-length album from underground/indie-rap legend Cage, a/k/a Chris Palko. The follow-up to "Hell's Winter," his 2005 critically-acclaimed LP, "Depart From Me" continues Cage's musical saga of a no-holds-barred, brutally autobiographical journey through his past and present.

In 2005, Cage paired up with rap legend El-P and his label Def Jux to produce "Hell's Winter," a dark walk towards the light at the end of the tunnel. With the upcoming "Depart From Me" and "I Never Knew You" EP Cage illuminates the struggles he's faced upon entering a world that continues to be a source of loss and confusion. He's helped along in this task with production by El-P, F. Sean (Hatebreed), Aesop Rock, and the late, great Camu Tao (RIP.)

Plagued by abuse, institutionalization, drugs, and violence throughout his life, these nightmarish experiences have permeated his art and defined the music he makes today. Cage's music is truly reflective of a reality far stranger than fiction, he explains; "Pain and loss, obsession and anger... Love. depression and insecurities... Growth as well as failure and the ever challenging battles with addiction. These things are the very soul of my record. 'Depart From Me' is about knowing what is destroying you and struggling to get those things out of you. This is my life. This is my record. I hope you enjoy it."
