Honestly, I think this is a really good choice.

Easy to forget how long he's been in the game (mid-90s) and the many roles he's had: not just rapper/producer but also his founding role at DefJux. He's worked at the edges of the genre and with folks outside of it. He's been a part of tons of critical records beyond his own solo career. He's a lot like Prince Paul, in a way.

My only worry is whether his personality will open up enough for a podcast. When I've listened to him in interviews he sometimes comes across as a bit reserved. Hopefully Mike can draw him out (if needed, I may have just seen the wrong interviews w/el-p, too).
