Artist Info/ BIO
Rapper Vordul Mega (a.k.a. Vordul Megilah) is half of underground hip hop duo Cannibal Ox and is a member of the hip hop group Atoms Family. Vordul's solo album debut is Revolution of Young Havoks, released in 2004. That same year Vordul also put out a supplemental LP/compilation of new and rare work, some of which did not make his album. This secondary "album" is called Yung World and features guest appearances from Aesop Rock, PR Terrorist, Keith Masters and billy woods. Cannibal Ox counterpart, Vast Aire, released ‘Look Mom... No Hands’ earlier the same year. Vast appears with Vordul on a track titled "Handle That" on Revolution of Yung Havoks. Vordul has also been involved in numerous side projects with record labels ranging from Think Differently Music to Backwoodz Studioz to Embedded Music. Perhaps most notable among these side-projects has been his work with billy woods on the 2002 album Camouflage. Although the album was billed as a collaborative effort it has since come to be viewed as billy woods solo debut although Vordul is present on one third of the tracks. Nevertheless, Camouflage's limited pressings, quirky production and socio-political commentary right after the September 11th attacks garnered some accolades. In 2005 Vordul again collaborated with Backwoodz Studioz as a part of a ten man ensemble of New York based MC's called The Reavers. The Reavers are made up of Akir, Vordul Mega, Karniege, Billy Woods, Kong, Keith Masters, Goldenchild, Privilege, Hasan Salaam and Spiga. The group thus incorporates members of several New York crews and collectives including Cannibal OX , Monsta Island Czars, Backwoodz Studioz, 5th Column. Their debut album. Terror Firma was applauded in some quarters for it's creativity and gritty aesthetic, other critics found it lacking. Shortly afterwards Definitive Jux announced that it had signed Vordul and Vast to do another Cannibal OX album with El-P.
