This week brings the Aesop Rock post I promised last week. We'll start off with the song "Daylight" off the album Labor Days.
Aesop Rock is truly a one of a kind rapper who has one of the best flows I have ever heard. Aesop uses highly detailed words and intense metaphors to his songs that make them very hard to interpret to the untrained listener. However the song "No Regrets" also off the album Labor Days is a song that tells a direct story and it is one of his only songs like that.
I first heard Aesop Rock from a friend who played it regularly in the car. I got my hands on all of his albums in EP's and became an instant fan. I could never actually pinpoint my favorite song by him because they are all so different. I have been desperately awaiting new music from Aesop but I have not heard anything about any new projects. I'll leave you with one of his most popular songs off his most recent album None Shall Pass.
Best. band. name. ever.
