As a part of Rawkus Records' rise in the '90s and as a founding member of Company Flow, El-P is definitely one rapper who doesn't have to prove his credentials to anyone. But after a nearly five-year hiatus, the Brooklyn, New York, backpacker — who had contributed to a few rock projects in between albums — decided to make his return to hip-hop with Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor in tow on the lead single, "Flyentology."

"The thing with hip-hop and rock, we all share a common love of drums," he explained to Mixtape Monday about his rock-tinged project I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, which also features experimental-rock band the Mars Volta. "I mean, some of the greatest hip-hop records of all time have been built on rock drums as breaks."

"I been gone for a few years and got some plans in store," El-P said.
