MH-202 Aesop Rock - Float  "So I heard you all want to float" bellows Aesop Rock, causing the flood gates to burst. Aesop Rock's first full-length effort, Float, contains twenty tracks of Avenue A hip-hop deluge and exemplifies the classic explosiveness of the sub-terra MC. It is the sound of a new New York underground speaking in full. With pinpoint production handled by Aesop and his main man, Blockhead, Float roars and rushes to the forefront. The release features guest appearances by Vastaire of Cannibal Ox, Slug of Atmosphere, and Doseone of Anticon. Dense in meaning and gorgeous in sound, Aesop holds nothing back, creating a work destined to become a landmark. Float is one of the year's most anticipated underground hip-hop releases and one that delivers on each and every line. |

| This somber Manhattanite's indie opus is a wholly internal affair. Aesop lives in microcosm: He is consumed with constructing dense poetry from the minute details of his own life. On "Basic Cable" he ponders his obsession with television. "6B Panorama" describes the view from his apartment window. But Aesop escapes pretense, thanks to the sincerity with which he approaches his self-examination and his attention to cadence and colorful wordplay. - Sonic Net |
