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 is, lyrically, an exceptionally dense and complex work. Aesop completely dominates this album with his thought provoking imagery, similes and metaphors. He also handles a fair share of the beats; from the Dirty South bounce of "Big Bang" to more expected beat styles. This album is very much worth checking out; and the quality, bearing in mind it is effectively a debut, is astonishing. - Hip-Hop Music UK |
