Aesop Rock , real name Ian Mathias Bavitz (born June 5, 1976 on Long Island , New York ) is an American hip-hop musician from New York.

biography

Aesop Rock has been under contract with the independent Def Jux label since his 2001 album Labor Days . The label stands for its own, often dark, industrial-futuristic sound, with Aesop Rock musically being on the more accessible side. The texts are characterized by complex imagery that always follows a guideline. The range of topics is broad and includes gloomy urban visions as well as stories about affectionately drawn outsiders of society or hip-hop-specific topics. Set pieces from pop culture can often be found in his work, which led a critic of the Boston Herald to the remark, "Listening to Aesop Rock is like taking your brain on a futuristic urban hell-ride through pop culture". The album Bazooka Tooth , released in 2003, has a much more pessimistic tone and deals, among other things, with the 11th of September and the murder of the hip hop pioneer Jam Master Jay from Run DMC . In February 2005 the EP Fast Cars, Danger, Fire & Knives , published with an 80-page book, followed . His album None Shall Pass was released in 2007.

Aesop Rock's texts are characterized by a particularly wide variety of vocabulary used.

Aesop Rock is a member of the hip-hop groups Hail Mary Mallon (together with Rob Sonic and DJ Big Wiz), The Weathermen (together with Cage , El-P and Tame1) and The Uncluded (together with Kimya Dawson ).
