Editor's review
The loquacious underground MC has been spitting verbiage since the 1990s, and he still hasn't run out of words. On the LP "Float," Aesop gives us his trademark: personal sagas speckled with urban grit. And as with his namesake fableist, there's always a moral to the story.
Biography
August 28th marks the release of None Shall Pass, the fourth album from Definitive Jux’s best-selling rapper, Aesop Rock.
Created over a two year period following his last release (Fast Cars, Danger, Fire and Knives EP), None Shall Pass documents not only a vast amount of personal change that Aesop experienced over this time, but deftly depicts scenes and stories relative to all ages of life. The majority of production duties have been handled by Aesop’s longtime partner Blockhead, while label mates El-P and Rob Sonic each make offerings. Aesop himself confidently produces a handful of his own tracks as well. Title track “None Shall Pass” is successfully penetrating into college hip hop and was the #1 most added in May. The video for the track will be available as a pre-release on August 7th.
Aesop Rock will be touring in support of None Shall Pass this fall with Rob Sonic, Blockhead (w/ DJ Signify), Cage, Black Moth Super Rainbow, and The Octopus Project on select dates. DJ Big Wiz will be on turntable duty for Aesop and Rob on all shows.
