Aesop Rock BY JORDAN MAINZER Score one for the purists. Traditional hip hop triumphed at Metro Chicago on March 4 as MCs Aesop Rock and Rob Sonic spat in front of a real live DJ. Sure, there was a Mac laptop on stage. It’s basically unavoidable today. But DJ Big Wiz mostly scratched his turntable records as Aesop performed songs from his now expansive career, including highlights from last year’s Skelethon LP. Despite the conspicuous absence of quintessential Aesop Rock almost-hit “ Daylight ”, the show was what all [...]

The Hood Internet has been releasing new music pretty regularly these days. Today I have a mash-up of two very different artists. Taking the vocals from Aesop Rock's "Zero Dark Thirty" and fusing it with the synthtastic tune "The Drum" by Ohama, The Hood Internet has brought us "Zero Drum Thirty". I would consider both to be excellent songs on their own but when put together make something special.
Aesop Rock's latest album shows him on top of his lyrical game, and taking on production duties as well. WATCH THE REVIEW
I was very exited to hear that after five years without releasing any material New York Classic Mc Aesop Rock is back with a new album 'Skelethon', out July 10 through Rhymesayers. Steam... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
Aesop Rock has emerged from where ever he has been hiding for the last five years with a new music video and single.

The images resemble what I imagine it is like to be inside the mind and imagination of [...]

Those unable to wait for the July release date set for Aesop Rock 's sixth studio effort, Skelethon , can rejoice knowing that the first single "Zero Dark Thirty" has surfaced. Rock regains his form as he rapidly throws lyrical jabs over the self-produced beat. The rapid tempo of "Zero Dark" almost seems overkill considering everything else that's happening on the track, but by the end everything flows well together. Your ears will enjoy this one as Rock reminds you exactly why he has had such longevity in a genre that uses up [...]
