New single SLAPS

The promo for the new album was so funny! For a second, I actually thought it was for a company or something Aes was starting before I saw the vid that showed pictures of the vinyl lol

Whoops double post. My phone wasn’t loading so I thought the original comment didn’t post lol

He’s been promoting the new album like it’s a company lol

There was also a sign-up thing on his website that made it look like you were joining the initiative or something but really it was the pre-order for the vinyl I think lol

Yeah solutionism caught my ear a lot more than anything on this or garbology. Interested to see how far he goes with the corporate-speak concept

All the new merch is so great too. I’m def gonna nab me an Aesop Rock lab coat lol

Technology, focus on the other shit

3D-printed body parts, dehydrated onion dip

You can buy a Jet Ski from a cell phone on a jumbo jet

T-E-C-H-N-O-L-O-G-Y, it's the ultimate



I love some of his more complex lyrical-miracle shit, but stuff like this just makes me grin so much. He has so many "just sounded like some cool shit to say" lines that I can't help but adore.



Like, in LLL, the "but the high wire act was the most profound - had a poodle on a unicycle, rose in her mouth" or in Cat Food, "at night I wear a wolves head on my regular head".



Love it.

Just getting into this dude now, great time to do so. Stoked for the new album

Nice, man. Aes is a legend. Def check his early stuff too. Float, Labor Days, and the EP Appleseed are all essential abstract hip-hop

Album Rating: 3.5

Labor Days is definitely my favorite I've heard of him. Skelethon is super awesome too.

Also got into this dude within the pasy few months. Can't wait to hear the new one.
