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.

VINYL FORMAT. Bazooka Tooth is Brooklyn-based Aesop Rock's fifth album, and his second long-player on doper-than-dope undie 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.

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."
