David Ma is hardcore like Kool G Rap's music made for concert piano.
Going back to Company Flow, specifically Funcrusher, and hearing seedlings of EL-P's later sound are fascinating. A student of Bomb Squad, his production, even early on, was dominated by textures and ominous tones. The songs later on developed into fuller, fully realized soundscapes, but cacophony and grim laughs remained enduring trademarks. Def Jux, an indie-imprint EL-P founded in 2000, captivated the underground masses and still lays claim to some of the era's best and most beloved releases (Cannibal Ox,Labor Days, Deadringer, etc). He did all this under an independent as fuck credo with songs that weren't always comfortable but always uncanny.
Fantastic Damage is so aptly titled, so is the paranoid I'll Sleep When You're Dead, and the dark sci-fi of Cancer For Cure. His trio of solo joints is music for an apocalypse, what you hear as flaming buildings crumble behind you. This recent and widely successful Run The Jewels run with Killer Mike has also given him a third act, with young fans revisiting and discovering jarring beasts like Little Johnny From The Hospital or the Weallgoingtoburninhellmegamixxx series.But 'Juvenile Technique' was Co Flow's first very single, an attention-demanding springboard that framed everything thereafter. I spoke with EL-P during a press window for Cancer For Cure before his career ascended even further, and here are a few of his thoughts on early Co Flow history and the making of 'Juvenile Technique' circa 1993.

Little Johnny from the Hospitul: Breaks & Instrumentals Vol.1 is the second and final studio album by American hip hop group Company Flow, released in 1999. The record itself is an instrumental album which differs from the group's previous work. It peaked at number 29 on the UK R&B Albums Chart.[9]
Critical reception[edit]
Chris Smith of Stylus Magazine gave the album a favorable review, saying, 'this is a fine record, and an absolute must for fans of oddball, rule-breaking hip-hop production.'[8] Ron Hart of CMJ New Music Report said, 'El Producto and DJ Mr. Len — now the group's sole members — twist up a series of instrumental tracks while maintaining breaks steady enough for rhyming and b-boy poppin' and lockin'.'[3] Charles Aaron of Spin called it 'the group's most skilled production work yet, layering meticulously warped electro passages and sinister guitar riffs amid vivid, gritty beats.'[10]
In 2015, Fact placed it at number 48 on the '100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time' list.[11]
