    Sunday Seance has been my jam for many many years. I've been a fan of Aesop Rock since 18 years old and I'm 39 now. Huge fan ❤👏

      I'm 39 as well and I found Aesop Rock on a old hip hop website ohhladotcom in the summer of 2002, then I heard aes again on a tony hawk pro skater game later that year. I was 17 at the time, and I was a huge music fan and hip hop was always one of my favorite genres growing up. After hearing Daylight online then Labor on THPS4, I instantly special ordered Labor Days at my local music store and have been hooked since. Im still a fan bc Aes is still killing it, his new album Integrated Tech Solutions is 🔥🔥🔥aes and billy woods haven been featuring on each others albums too and I've been really digging that. billy woods is dope af.
      I dream of seeing them live one day 😊

    MC Supernatural is a great off the top freestyler, he even holds the record for longest freestyle with 9 hours and 15 minutes.

      Saw him play live with dj noize Twice & He was asking people in the crowd for words randomly and was spitting the best freestyles based on those words !

    Garbology was effing amazing. Aesop's tightest lyrics to date, and the production was groovin.

      Just listened to Garbology 2 days ago and absolutely blown away! Had listened to some old Blockhead before but together with Aesop, absolute creative genius throughout!

    Cool discussion of great musicianship. Blockhead rules

    What I want to know is: As an indie artist, am I better off releasing in volume? Seems like that is the way these artists on independent mabels are doing it. Is it a means to combat the drowning out of art by the majors and manipulating the algorithm?
    This is a dope channel. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

    It's so sick to hear from a producer. Your work really impresses me man, love the sound.
