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. 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.

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 ]
