Aesop Rock, Rob Sonic, DJ Big Wiz, Perseph One (Outside)
Fri. 07/25 | 7:00PM @ Emo's (Downtown)
The independent hip-hop champion Aesop Rock has been perfecting his unique style for nearly a decade. He works with the highly influential Definitive Jux record label, releasing five albums th…more»
Aesop Rock counts as a major star in the world of independent rap, where he’s remained a flagship act of El-P’s Definitive Jux, arguably the most vital label in the hip-hop underground. Rock’s mindful rhymes stream out at warp speed, with a style built around a Shakespearean jester’s mix of self-deprecation and incisive urgency. Rock stared down the streets and science fiction with a strong focus on his 2003 album Bazooka Tooth, and he does much the same on last year’s None Shall Pass, an album produced for the most part by Blockhead (read: not El-P). Expect lots of raised arms and furrowed brows. Also playing: Rob Sonic, DJ Big Wiz, Perseph One.

Since Lewis Black’s enraged rise to fame has occurred while George W. Bush has been in office, it’s tough to tell what will happen when there aren’t complete buffoons running wild in the White House; but chances are pretty good that his war-on-stupidity character is going to have a place in America for quite some time, particularly now that obvious mentor George Carlin has passed on. Of course, Black plays the role so well because he’s playing himself, an educated guy who is so pissed off about dumb people and things that he can’t help but rant. Black appears here behind his recently released book, Me Of Little Faith, which turns Black’s ire against religion.

Underground hip-hop’s most lyrically verbose and enunciated wordsmith swoops down on Austin’s cerebral cortex, complete with rare spots of “Daylight” amidst the Long Island, N.Y., native’s psychotic lexicon. Recently relocated to San Francisco, the Definitive Jux staple’s a year removed from his Blockhead-produced None Shall Pass, an opaque examination of those damned failed relationships.
