Almost twenty years have passed since Aesop Rock’s debut album, and he continues to approach rapping with the same voracity that propelled his artistry on day one.
I was wary of maybe a feature or two on Aesop’s next album, considering Homeboy Sandman toured with him and Rob Sonic (Hail Mary Mallon).
Hip Hop was never born solely out of struggle, we shouldn’t forget DJ Kool Herc’s party at 1520 Sedgwick Ave was the scene of the genre’s first breaths.
