Biography

Aesop Rock is a critically acclaimed Hip-Hop artist/producer, recognized for his dense and abstract word-play. His career rose to fame early on as a prominent member of El-P’s now defunct label, Def Jux. Since 1997, Aesop Rock has released eight solo albums, three EPs, a 45-minute Nike-commissioned piece of music designed for runners, as well as provided the score for the Cary Murnion and Jonathan Milott action-thriller, Bushwick (2016), and wrote and produced the score for Wide Right Interactive’s shooter game, Freedom Finger (2020). Additionally, Aesop has remained active, writing and producing multiple albums with collaborative side-groups; The Uncluded (w/ Kimya Dawson), Hail Mary Mallon (w/ Rob Sonic), Lice (w/ Homeboy Sandman), and Malibu Ken (w/ TOBACCO). In November 2020, Aesop released Spirit World Field Guide, to much critical acclaim before returning in April 2021 to surprise audiences of all ages with Long Legged Larry — a children’s tale in the form of song, brought to life as a plush toy with the help of his artist friend, Jeremy Fish. Nearly exactly one year after the release of Spirit World Field Guide, Aesop is set to release his next album, Garbology, produced in full by longtime collaborator, Blockhead. Although the two have worked together since before either had established music careers, and Blockhead has produced some of Aesop’s most popular songs to date, this is the first time the two have collaborated on a complete album together.
