Bazooka Tooth is Brooklyn-based Aesop Rock's fifth album, and his second long-player on doper-than-dope indie label, Def Jux. 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 ]

After finding an eager online audience for his dense soundscapes and even more complex rhymes, New York MC Aesop Rock released his most potent combination of words and music on his Def Jux debut. Crammed with references to history and mythology, as well as the usual pop-culture name checks, Aesop's lyrics remain unusually verbose and intelligent here, but he's also able to spin them into compelling stories. The best example is the bittersweet, follow-your-dreams saga of "No Regrets," which chron   [ read more ]

Cannibal Ox and Company Flow may have played a more visible role in the Def Jux label's rise to critically acclaimed status in the early 2000s, but Aesop Rock also garnered a considerable amount of attention for the alt-rap label. He collaborates with producer Blockhead here, though Cannibal Ox fans will be happy to know that El-P produces one of this EP's tracks, "Nickel Plated Pockets." But for the most part, this EP is a showcase for Blockhead and Aesop. The two lay down    [ read more ]

The epic first blast from the 'Bazooka Tooth' album, due end Sept. 'Freeze' has Aesop dropping pure next level raps over a kick ass old school styled beat and melodic drops, dope. 'Greatest Pac-Man Victory In History' is even better, a massive slowdown thugboom trip ala early Company Flow mixed up with Req One's old school revisionary production tactics. Completely self produced, now that Blockhead has shipped to Ninja Tune. Versions, 'f**k, s**t, p**s', 'lemony fresh' and 'shoot the dog', aka 'street', 'ra   [ read more ]

As if underground rap fans weren't eager enough to hear the first new material (except for a few scattered features) from Aesop Rock in a year and a half, Definitive Jux added to the seven-track program a deluxe 88-page book including the complete lyrics to all of Aesop Rock's three LPs and two EPs to date. The music alone nearly justifies the cost, improving on the dense atmosphere pervading Aesop's mostly self-produced Bazooka Tooth, and returning ace producer Blockhead to his prime r   [ read more ]
