Aesop Rock (born Ian Matthias Bavitz on 1976-05-11) is an American hip hop artist/producer. He was in the forefront of the new wave of underground/alternative acts that emerged during the late 1990s/early 2000s. He is signed to El-P's Definitive Jux label. Aesop's style blends a varying tone and delivery with lyrics that contain intricate sequences of widely varying imagery, metaphors, puns, absurdism, and pop culture references, while including the occasional touchstones of traditional hip hop storytelling and self-promotion. |
