Garbology - Aesop Rock & Blockhead (2021)

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. 
			-- Hamlet

Gramps like, "Sonny I been all over this motherfuckin roadmap
I can tell you science Ain't the only player in the network"
			-Aesop Rock

Aes (o_O) is a favorite of mine. His first record way back when was produced by Blockhead. They’d crossed and collaborated a few times since, but I think this is the first full record they’ve put together as a duo.

Aesop’s production is heavily influenced by and pretty similar to Blockhead’s, so it’s a bit hard to tell where one stops and the other starts. But the flow is, as always, elite.

Tracks I Liked

Jazz Hands - fantastic

Difficult - jazzy, menacing, and funny

All The Smartest People - if Difficult is menacing jazz, this is like menacing film music. Some seriously deep ideas.

All Day Breakfast - features the similarly awesome Homeboy Sandman.
