Building on the rapping style of eccentrics
Kool Keith
and
Del tha Funkee Homosapien
, Def Jux headliner
Aesop Rock
became one of the hottest MCs in the post-millennial underground. After a pair of self-released LPs (
Appleseed
,
Music for Earthworms
), he recorded
Float
for Mush in 2000. The former
Ian Bavitz
then issued a pair of singles --
"Coma"
and
"Boom Box"
-- for another underground rap label paragon, Definitive Jux. His second full-length, 2001's
Labor Days
, earned positive reviews and
featured production from
El-P
and
Blockhead
. The
Daylight
EP kept his name in the papers, and his Def Jux follow-up,
Bazooka Tooth
, was released in September 2003. A seven-track EP,
Fast Cars, Danger, Fire and Knives
, followed in early 2005. In early 2007
Aesop Rock
composed a 45-minute piece for Nike's Original Run series, a continuous track meant to be listened to while jogging (other artists included
LCD Soundsystem
and
the Crystal Method
), and by September his much-anticipated full-length,
None Shall Pass
, which included guest appearances from
El-P
and
John Darnielle
(from
the Mountain Goats
), came out. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide

Wow, I never realized your new album cover is from the low-brow art movement.. I recently saw that work in person in San Francisco at the gallery attached to the Shooting Gallery. !!
