Vast Aire's fame increased significantly as part of Cannibal Ox with Vordul mega. Together with producer El-P, they recorded their debut
album, The Cold Vein, and released it in 2001. The album was a critical success. Since then, Vast Aire has pursued solo interests. His first
solo album Look Mom...No Hands was released in April 2004. This was followed by The Best Damn Rap Show, a collaborative effort with DJ
Mighty Mi from the High and Mighty in 2005. Contrary to popular belief, these solo projects did not break Vast Aire from his obligations at
Definitive Jux with Cannibal Ox. Vast has since went on to work with members from the Megahertz crew, forming the Weathermen, where he
worked with the likes of Copywrite, Yak Ballz, Cage, Aesop Rock, and Tame One. Vast is also a part of a super-group called LXG, the League of
Extraordinary Gentlemen.
