Aesop Rock is back, following up 2023's Integrated Tech Solutions with a new full-length LP, Black Hole Superette, out on May 30 on Rhymesayers.

Aesop Rock handles the majority of production on the album, but also draws guest spots from Lupe Fiasco, Homeboy Sandman, Open Mike Eagle, billy woods and Elucid of Armand Hammer.

The label described the album as "[being] about the pull of the invisible (or all-too-visible) forces around us and the way they shape our psyches," using a convenience store metaphor as a front.

Integrated Tech Solutions
Rhymesayers (2023)

Aesop Rock seems to be the rare artist who gets better with age. I enjoyed his early work with Blockhead, but it felt like things started to take off when he took over self-production, steadily growing and hitting what felt like peak when Spirit World Field Guide came out in 2020 (followed by Garbology in ’21). Luckily for all of … Read more

Spirit World Field Guide
Rhymesayers (2020)

Spirit World Field Guide is Aesop Rock’s first full-length in a few years.

Skelethon
Rhymesayers (2012)

The big complaint since Aesop Rock’s breakthrough, Labor Days, seems to be that he hasn’t had the memorable singles. At this point, it should be clear that Aesop Rock writes albums, not hits. Skelethon is his sixth release, and first with powerhouse label Rhymesayers Entertainment. While None Shall Pass (2007) had its moments, I’ve long felt Aesop Rock’s best work … Read more
