Background/Description(courtesy of Allmusic) While it can be said that many underground crews have been floundering in the gray matter of indie hip-hop, Cannibal Ox filled that area in with 2001's The Cold Vein for El P's Def Jux imprint. The music press had been quick to point out that Vast Aire and Vordul Megilah's attack is at times highly derivative of the Wu Tang Clan, and the point is valid. Thankfully, El P (a serious candidate for producer of the year) lays out some of the most lushly intriguing sounds and beats that feel as herky-jerky as they sound gilded with silk. It's a bit misleading to harp on the Wu factor that The Cold Vein contains since this record's content is immensely original and the Wu references that seem present are in the enlightened gloomy flow and psychedelic backdrops -- not, (with all due respect) in the kitschy hooks and unfocused rhymes that Wu Tang are also known for. Aire and Megilah swirl around in b-boy posturing and obtuse nonsense as their innovation rears its head at every corner with scatter-shot lines like: 'And I ain't dealin' with no minimum wage/I'd rather construct rhymes on a minimum page,' and 'You were a still-born baby, your mother didn't want you but you were still-born.' While there's not a throwaway track per se, the album's length does run a bit long (at least they didn't make it into a double CD as a lot of rap acts have been known to do). To their immense credit, Cannibal Ox and El P have assembled one of the most listenable hip-hop albums in far too long. Headz be aware: Independent hip-hop has a new voice and this is your beat fix for 2001.

Release[edit]
The Cold Vein was the first full-length album to be released on former Company Flow member El-P's newly founded Definitive Juxrecord label, and its release was preceded by a significant amount of hype, particularly within the hip hop community. In late 2000, a split double vinylsingle appeared on Def Jux, containing three new songs by Company Flow and two tracks taken from The Cold Vein: 'Iron Galaxy' and 'Straight Off The D.I.C.' (see 2000 in music). These songs also appeared on the labelcompilation albumDef Jux Presents, released on March 20, 2001. The first single, 'Vein', was released in April 2001 with 'A B-Boy's Alpha' serving as its b-side. The album was eventually released on May 15, 2001.

The Cold Vein was well received by critics, drawing many favorable comparisons to the 36 Chambers-era Wu-Tang Clan. Many praised El-P's production work, with CMJ contributor Brian Coleman writing 'Producer El-P of Company Flow gives this Harlem-bred and Brooklyn-based vocal duo of Vast Aire and Shamar what usually sounds like a full goth orchestra perched in a dank basement, with thick synth strings, simulated outer-space found-sounds and choppy, pounding drums.' AllMusic contributor Jack LV Isles wrote, 'El-P (a serious candidate for producer of the year) lays out some of the most lushly intriguing sounds and beats that feel as herky-jerky as they sound gilded with silk.'
The album was also noted for its profound lyrical content; many critics and fans felt Vast Aire's and Vordul Mega's lyrics painted a vivid picture of a poverty-stricken New York.[11] Gavin Mueller of Stylus Magazine wrote about 'The F-Word', a song addressing unrequited love: 'Moments like these show not only the skill of Can Ox's MCs, but the potential for hip hop lyrics to work on as many levels as the finest English poetry.'[12]
Accolades[edit]
The Cold Vein landed on many 'best of 2001' lists and even some best of the decade.[13]Online music magazinePitchfork placed The Cold Vein at number 152 on their list of top 200 albums of the 2000s.[14]Rhapsody ranked the album #5 on its 'Hip-Hop's Best Albums of the Decade' list.[15]Fact named it the best indie hip hop ever made.[16]HipHopDX listed it among 30 best underground hip hop albums since 2000.[17]
Instrumental version[edit]
An instrumental companion to the album entitled El-P Presents Cannibal Oxtrumentals was released on 19 March 2002 on Definitive Jux. AllMusic contributor Victor W. Valdivia wrote 'Mainly, the album sounds as if it were the soundtrack for an unmade film, much as the work Eno made in the 1970s, since the tracks have a distinct cinematic quality that allows them to cohere and flow beautifully.'

Legacy[edit]
The Cold Vein only broke through to the mainstream on a small level. However, its legacy has grown significantly over the years and the album is today widely considered as one of the best independenthip hop albums of the 2000s as well as perhaps the best album released on Definitive Jux.
Stylus Magazine who, in particular, had already heavily praised the album ranked it #17 on their Top 50 Albums: 2000–2005 link writing, 'Vast and Vordul work wonders on the mic, of course—particularly Vast, who steals most of the album's tracks with his charismatic delivery and clever wordplay. But it's the beats that give the album its unique stamp. The muted five-note motif in 'Iron Galaxy's verses; the wandering keyboard lines and muffled vocal samples in 'A B-Boy's Alpha'; the skittering percussion in 'Raspberry Fields'; it all works towards making Vast and Vordul's tales of the Big Apple feel more like they're pulled from Day After Tomorrow-era New York than the present-day version.'
After many years of speculation,[18] a follow up album, Blade of the Ronin, was finally released on March 3, 2015.[19]
