The Cold Vein is the debut studio album by American hip hop duo Cannibal Ox. It was produced by El-P and released on his Definitive Jux label on May 15, 2001. The album has since been reissued by iHipHop Distribution. The Cold Vein was the first full-length album to be released on former Company Flow member El-P's newly founded Definitive Jux record label, and its release was preceded by a significant amount of hype, particularly within the hip hop community.

Cannibal Ox don't have that problem with their debut LP on Def Jux Records, The Cold Vein. Iron Galaxy," which originally appeared in 2000 on a split EP with Company Flow, begins the album. Vast Aire and Vordul rap an abstract refrain, "My shell, mechanical found ghost/ But my ghetto is animal found toast," a taste of the tortured environment they document in their hometown New York City. Vordul grabs the mic and busts for 2xBD minutes, beginning with the end of life and ending with a near-hopeless call for peace.

Cannibal Ox is a New York hip hop duo which consists of Vast Aire and Vordul Mega. This album was produced by El-P, which was the main reason I checked out this album. This is one of the most praised underground rap albums of its decade. I really only had interest in El-P’s production on the album, but Cannibal Ox does a pretty decent job of catching my attention. This cover isn’t anything all that special to me.

This is the running theme of Cannibal Ox’s debut, The Cold Vein. At first glance, it’s easy to get the impression that The Cold Vein is a expression big city cynicism but this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Every track is not just a blur of crumbling, post-apocalyptic beats but rather it’s crumbling, post-apocalyptic beats superimposed on top of a bleak sense of optimism. The emotional balance is divided between the two parties involved in the album. Gloom comes per indie hip hop godhead El-Producto, . El-P, who takes the productions reins for most of the album.
