Aesop Rock

Aes’ 11th album is a deep dive into a carnivalesque capitalist hellscape

The veteran emcee’s storytelling has evolved into one of his most focused albums to date

Check out the animated clip from ‘Spirit World Field Guide’

Watch the stop motion animated clip, featuring a chill AF frog.

Aes creates an audio guide to a fantastical realm on his latest.

Hear new track “The Gates.”

See the trippy, kinda gross new clip from the psychedelic hip-hop duo.

The best rap records of the past 20 years.

One month into a year is never quite enough to understand how the next 11…

A natural collaboration between two iconoclastic innovators.

A lineup of the albums we can’t wait to spin in the year ahead.

Check out new single “Acid King.”
