Def Jux is a record label starte by el-p (I'm pretty sure) who used to be in the rap group "Company Flow." el-p is a pretty sick producer and good rapper too... makes pretty off beat tracks though.. so not everyone likes them. can ox is just plain nasty, and is made up of vast air and vogul.

check out "fanstic damge" (el-p), "cold vein" (cannibal ox) and "bazooka tooth" (aesop rock)... those are there newest albums. murs is pretty good too. i think illogic did some shit with them...

oh and mr lif. he's just sick. and jean grae has collabed with a bunch of them too, and she is probably the best female rapper out there right now.
