ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Once again teaming up with production partner Blockhead, Aesop brings his rhymes to life with a soundtrack that veers from the underground funk of the lead single "Coma" to the stuttering drum & bass of "Save Yourself" to the spaced-out melodic thump of the title track. Lyrically, Aesop's sheer ability, cr   [ read more ]

The beats are pure multi-layered phatness, fashioned as fans have come to expect from Def Jux -- frenetically aggressive, PE-recalling, neck-snap inducing, and all infused with a dangerous dose of space funk and computer game sickness. Aesop has an accomplished flow: a staccato, nasal delivery that resounds with forceful and cutting confidence. And in that odd moment of compre   [ read more ]
