The independent hip-hop champion Aesop Rock has been perfecting his unique style for nearly a decade. He works with the highly influential Definitive Jux record label, releasing five albums throughout his career, including the critically acclaimed "None Shall Pass" in 2007. Allmusic called it "as powerful as anything the MC has ever created," making it "an album that deserves a lot of attention, both inside and outside the hip-hop world." He will be joined by fellow independent rapper and label mate Rob Sonic, along with the Houston-based artists DJ Big Wiz and Perseph One.

There's actual substance to unpack in the album, but Aesop's indomitable presence on record and his knotty co-production with Blockhead and El-P make what he says incidental to how he says it.more at slantmagazine.com

Underground hip-hop’s most lyrically verbose and enunciated wordsmith swoops down on Austin’s cerebral cortex, complete with rare spots of “Daylight” amidst the Long Island, N.Y., native’s psychotic lexicon. Recently relocated to San Francisco, the Definitive Jux staple’s a year removed from his Blockhead-produced None Shall Pass, an opaque examination of those damned failed relationships.

Posted about 1 month ago.Aesop Rock counts as a major star in the world of independent rap, where he’s remained a flagship act of El-P’s Definitive Jux, arguably the most vital label in the hip-hop underground. Rock’s mindful rhymes stream out at warp speed, with a style built around a Shakespearean jester’s mix of self-deprecation and incisive urgency. Rock stared down the streets and science fiction with a strong focus on his 2003 album Bazooka Tooth, and he does much the same on last year’s None Shall Pass, an album produced for the most part by Blockhead (read: not El-P). Expect lots of raised arms and furrowed brows. Also playing: Rob Sonic, DJ Big Wiz, Perseph One.
