Interpol's Paul Banks drops hip-hop mixtape; El-P and Talib Kweli feature

With Interpol on a lengthy break, Paul Banks has definitely been keeping himself occupied. 

The singer covered Dilla and Sinatra on last year’s Julian Plenti Lives… EP, and followed up with the dolorous Banks solo LP. He’s also been indulging his thespier impulses, taking the lead in psychological thriller Mine To Kill.  As Pitchfork report, he’s now done a Wavves and dropped a hip-hop mixtape. The title? Everybody On My Dick Like They Supposed To Be.

The 21 track beat tape boasts an appearance from El-P, who enlisted Banks for a guest spot on last year’s Cancer 4 Cure LP. Conscious rap figurehead Talib Kweli provides a verse, as do OFWGKTA’s Mike G and Antipop Consortium’s High Priest, trading here as High Prizm.

According to Banks’ label Matador, Everybody On My Dick Like They Supposed To Be was originally turned in by Banks in early 2012, and was originally planned as a pre-release buzz builder for the singer’s Banks LP. Grab the tape over at DatPiff, or stream it below.
