When a 17-year-old Jaime Meline took on the name El-P and formed Company Flow with Mr. Len and Bigg Jus, he could hardly have known that he was going to change the hip-hop game forever.

In his 2013 Red Bull Music Academy lecture, El-P discussed the ’90s underground rap scene in New York, running Def Jux, all things Run the Jewels, and more.

But that’s exactly what the Brooklyn crew did, introducing bracing new production and rhyming styles that became a massive influence on the generation that came after. After he helped define indie hip-hop in the ‘90s, El-P did it again when he started Def Jux, an imprint that brought Cannibal Ox, Aesop Rock, and RJD2 to the world. That’s not even mentioning El-P himself, who has released a number of solo albums and provided production for the likes of Alec Empire, Killer Mike and Trent Reznor, before reaching new levels of acclaim with Run The Jewels.
