Aesop Rock

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Building on the rapping style of eccentrics Kool Keith and Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Def Jux headliner Aesop Rock became one of the hottest MCs in the post-millennial underground. After a pair of self-released LPs (Appleseed, Music for Earthworms), he recorded Float for Mush in 2000. The former Ian Bavitz then issued a pair of singles -- "Coma" and "Boom Box" -- for another underground rap label paragon, Definitive Jux. His second full-length, 2001's Labor Days, earned positive reviews and featured production from El-P and {$Blockhead...[more]

 

 

Aesop Rock burst onto the scene in 2002 with his hugely successful album Labor Days. When the Daylight EP dropped six months later, his status as one of NY's most inspired MC's was cemented. From that moment on his music and his mystique have garnered Aesop Rock critical acclaim as well as the adoration and devotion of his fans. None Shall Pass, the highly anticipated newest album, features John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats, El-P, Cage, and 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 ]

VINYL FORMAT. Lead 12" from Aesop's new EP/lyric book set is this Blockhead-produced piano funk burner that's easily one of his best tracks ever. Blockhead also blesses the b-side with another helping of sinister, off-kilter soul. TRACKLIST: 'Fast Cars' dirty, 'Fast Cars' clean, and 'Fast Cars' instrumental, backed with 'Number Nine' dirty, 'Number Nine' clean, and 'Number Nine' instrumental.

VINYL FORMAT. Blockhead sets off this 12" with the infectious piano-funk of the EP's title track 'Fast Cars'. As Aesop dances over the rhythm it's made clear that this is one of his strongest songs of all time. 'Number Nine' is an alarm call banger Blockhead laces with an eerie funkadelic soul."

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 ]
