Aesop Rock ORIG US 2LP Labor days NM 2001 Signed Def Jux DJX13 Alt. Rap Hip Hop Original US 2LP released in 2001 on Def Jux Records. Cat: DJX13. Front of cover has been signed by artist.

After finding an eager online audience for his dense soundscapes and even more complex rhymes, New York MC Aesop Rock released his most potent combination of words and music on his Def Jux debut. Crammed with references to history and mythology, as well as the usual pop-culture name checks, Aesop's lyrics remain unusually verbose and intelligent here, but he's also able to spin them into compelling stories. The best example is the bittersweet, follow-your-dreams saga of "No Regrets," which chronicles a woman's sacrifices for art from childhood to old age. Besides the wealth of detail, the song doesn't sugarcoat the loneliness of its subject, even as it shows her at ease with her choices. And on "9-5ers Anthem," Aesop who still works a day job himself allays any concerns about him being a hip-hop elitist, offering a shout out to the blue-collar masses.
