Milan Records announces the May 29 release of Capone with music by the Grammy-nominated Run The Jewels’ producer and rapper EL-P. Available for preorder now, the album features music written and produced by EL-P and co-produced by long time EL-P collaborator Wilder Zoby (Run the Jewels, Roma) for the new film starring Tom Hardy as the infamous gangster Al Capone.

This marks the first complete film score from EL-P since 2004’s Bomb The System, and arrives on the heels of score contributions to Fantastic 4 (for which EL-P scored the end credits, which marked the beginning of his working relationship with Capone director Josh Trank) and 2016’s Bleed For This (directed by Ben Younger) as well as contributing to the soundtrack for 2018’s Oscar winning Roma (directed by Alfonso Cuarón). With Capone, EL-P is stepping out as a new voice in the film music world and his emotive, tense, and beautiful score is unlike anything he’s done before.

Alongside today’s preorder, two tracks from the album make their debut today via Rolling Stone – listen to “mama’s hurt” and “this is Al thats left (end credits)” here. Produced by BRON Studios and recently released by Vertical Entertainment, Capone is now available anywhere you can buy or rent movies, including, but not limited to, Apple TV, iTunes (where it hit #1 on the US and Canada new movie charts), Amazon, Google Play, FandangoNow, and Vudu.

Of the score, EL-P says, “I grew up on film scores and they’ve always been a huge influence on me and I’ve been hoping to get the time and chance to do another, so I was thrilled to do Capone. Huge thanks to Josh Trank and Tom Hardy for bringing me in and of course to Wilder Zoby who was my right hand man through the whole score. I loved helping create and getting lost in this twisted little trip in to Al’s mind. Much of the music on this score is directly from the movie and some of it is stuff that was created for the film but didn't survive the final cut. I’m excited to present it to the world in this form.”

Once a ruthless businessman and bootlegger who ruled Chicago with an iron fist, Alfonse Capone was the most infamous and feared gangster of American lore.
At the age of 47, following nearly a decade of imprisonment, dementia rots Alfonse’s mind and his past becomes present. Harrowing memories of his violent and brutal origins melt into his waking life. As he spends his final year surrounded by family with the FBI lying in wait, this ailing patriarch struggles to place the memory of the location of millions of dollars he hid away on his property.

El-P is a songwriter, producer, rapper, writer and film composer from Brooklyn. Originally a member of legendary NYC underground rap crew Company Flow and now best known as half of the powerhouse duo Run The Jewels, El-P has been a major driving force in hip hop and music for more than two decades as a performer, producer, and once owner of the massively influential Definitive Jux records. As a studio collaborator he has worked with Trent Reznor, Beck, Killer Mike, TV On The Radio, The Mars Volta, Cat Power, Zack De La Rocha, Big Boi and many others. Decades into his career he’s experiencing his biggest success yet in Run The Jewels, his duo with Killer Mike, who are primed to release their feverishly anticipated fourth album RTJ4 on June 5.
