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. |

| Mush Records is home to very underground, very avant-garde hip-hop artists. They come from the world of rappers where concerts are played at sold out, smoky jazz joints and poetry gatherings, where records mainly are sold and downloaded over the Internet. It's the world of the radical rap underground. Aesop Rock is one of the popular rappers in this reign of the unpopular. His new album Float is actually not that hard to penetrate; the songs definitely grow with every listening. But note that I used the word penetrate trying to describe what the audience needs to do with Float. You don't penetrate a Destiny's Child record. You dig it if you dig it, not much to decode, analyze or process. Challenge yourself and your vision on hip-hop. Remember, what was heard in the underground yesterday, is heard on the surface tomorrow. - Pitch Adjust |
