Aesop Rock is one of Def Jux's most consistently brilliant voices, with a gritty, futuristic take on left-field hip-hop. His flow is supremely confident, and his lyrics are truly mind-boggling, weaving together absurdist stories and bizarro imagery with acrobatic verbal dexterity. Hip-hop may not always translate well in the live arena, but Aesop's dizzying, disorienting shows never disappoint. In recent interviews, he's threatened to leave music altogether, so catch him spitting tracks from his excellent record, None Shall Pass, while you still can.
