Skelethon not only sees the rapper back waxing poetically on his own but also marks his first wholly self-produced effort. Since the release of None Shall Pass in 2007, we've seen Aesop Rock touring the world, launching online arts outlet,, and collaborating on LPs with Felt, Hail Mary Mallon, the Uncluded and more. What a bit of gusto he muster up, to make a dark horse rush like enough's enough, it musta struck a nerve so they huff and puff, til all the king's men fluster and clusterfuck, and it's a beautiful thing, to my people who keep an impressive wingspan even when the cubicle shrinks, you gotta pull up the intruder by the root of the weed, NY chew through the machine.Iconic New York-born, San Francisco-based rapper and producer, Aesop Rock, is joining forces with Rhymesayers to release his sixth studio album, Skelethon, on July 10th 2012. Sign of the vibe in the crowd when I cut a belly open to find what climbs out. Anyone object, come stand in the way, you could be my little snake river canyon today, and I ran with a chain of commands and a jet pack strap where the back-stab lands if it can. Sat where the old cardboard city folk swap tales with heads like every other penny throw. Miles outside of the eye of the storm, with a siphon to lure out a prize and award, while avoiding the vile and bazaar that is violence and war, true blue triumph is more, like wait, let it snake up outta the centerfold, let it break the walls of jericho, ready? GO.
Sign of the swine in the swarm when a king is a whore who comply and conform. If you never had a day a snow cone couldn't fix, you wouldn't relate to the rogue vocoder blitz, how he spoke thru a no-doz motor on the fritz, cuz he wouldn't play roll over fetch like a bitch, and express no regrets, though he isn't worth a homeowner's piss to the jokers who pose by the glitz. With a cane to the sky like 'None Shall Pass' On the day you are judged by the funhouse castĪnd I will rejoice in your fall from grace Like that's not a riot, it's a feast, let's eat So when a dog fight's hog-tied prize sort of costs a life When a primate climb up a spine and attachĮye for an eye by the bog's life swamps and vines Like "I'm 'a pull the pulse out a soldier and bolt" Not enough young in his lung for the waterwings? What are we to heart Huckabee art fuckery suddenly? Jittery zeitgeist wither by the watering hole The album featured a guest appearance from Dawson along with Rob Sonic and Allyson Baker of Dirty Ghosts. He would return to his solo career in 2012 with Skelethon, released by the Rhymesayers label. A year later, Def Jux would be put "on hiatus" by label head El-P, but Aesop would remain busy, producing major works like Felt's 2009 effort Felt 3: A Tribute to Rosie Perez and working on a collaboration with the Moldy Peaches' Kimya Dawson dubbed the Uncluded. 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. A seven-track EP, Fast Cars, Danger, Fire and Knives, followed in early 2005. The Daylight EP kept his name in the papers, and his Def Jux follow-up, Bazooka Tooth, was released in September 2003. His second full-length, 2001's Labor Days, earned positive reviews and featured production from El-P and Blockhead. The former Ian Bavitz then issued a pair of singles - "Coma" and "Boom Box" - for another underground rap label paragon, Definitive Jux. After a pair of self-released LPs (Appleseed, Music for Earthworms), he recorded Float for Mush in 2000. Building on the rapping style of eccentrics Kool Keith and Del the Funky Homosapien, Def Jux headliner Aesop Rock became one of the hottest MCs in the post-millennial underground.
