This is dope, kind of like a vintage Aesop beat but with a new spin from him and you both.

That's just ridiculous.

LOL @ the sweatpants not being free at all.

Aesop Rock is impossible to take seriously in 2019.

Next single sounds ill.

Looking forward to this - Backwoodz as a collective are putting out a lot of great stuff at the moment.

Just pre-ordered on Bandcamp. Passed on the sweatpants though.

Congrats on the album Block, everybody kills it. New single is ill:



Hearing stuff like this reminds me that Brewin is still one of the goats, and needs to make more records.

I've come to terms with the idea of him never putting out another full project and even regret the time I ran up on him while he was talking to el after that 1st Co Flow reunion thing that was under a bridge and demanded he put a solo album out, as well as the time I suggested on here to dude from Parallel Thought that he do a Kathy Bates Misery on him and kidnap him and force him to do an album.

That was all very weird. He's definite GOAT status, need not do anything else. Can't believe this track here even exists, it's a blessing. woods and OME both came with it like they knew what was happening too.

Whole album is great, like every single track. Bravo Block, can't imagine this turning out any better than it did. Ton of great music dropped yesterday and this is the only thing I want to listen to.

yup, dope album from end to end ... kinda disappoining that there's missing 2 instrumental tracks on the vinyl version ... "slippery slope" is perfection, same goes for "be safe"!

As for the Vinyl thing, we needed the vinyl to be a certain length and those two songs couldn't fit, unfortunately.

Gave it a listen: Mixed bag.

Some of your beats venture too far out there to cohesively form a glob of something solid. The ones that work, though, they pound me in my Brainbutt so hard that I'm usually left raw. "By Myself Meeting" is an example of a Deep, Unprotected Banging.

Aside from woods, Elucid, and OME, I'm not into any of the other features. Dope beats though.

I hadn't heard anything from the album until that the Slippery Slope video popped up on my feed. And I'm glad it did. Great track, video is dope too.
