Aesop Rock - Zero Dark Thirty

Underground rap artist time!  Well, Aesop Rock is above ground now, and I have high hopes that everyone will know his name in no time, especially with the release of Skelethon this month.  In a nutshell, he's the best rapper you've never heard of, so what are you waiting for?  The album's first single, "Zero Dark Thirty" came my way in April via SoundCloud, and it's been simmering on the backburner ever since.  But now it's ready for you to enjoy.

"Zero Dark Thirty" is a little choppier; definitely indicative of the underground sound.  I'm not complaining here.  Aesop Rock has a way with his words too (beside tongue-tied enzymes, devolved into mothmen munching textiles).  Hey, if you can make a mothman reference in your work, you're golden in my book.  "Zero Dark Thirty" is deconstructed beauty, and unlike nothing you've heard before.  You're going to want to look up the lyrics too, I know it.



And for the underground rap enthusiasts:
