From his string of self-released instrumental beat tapes, New York hip-hop producer El-P let loose this jam as a heads up for the forthcoming release of his third contribution to the series, Weareallgoingtoburninhellmegamixxx3, set to appear on August 3 via Gold Dust. “East River Float” comes from Volume Two, and actually features a quick vocal guest spot from P’s hypeman, The Mighty Quin, before getting straight down to business with funky basslines, piano and horn samples, along with an old-school, nod-worthy beat. Snag more tunes from El-P’s Weareall series here and here.
