{"product_id":"aesop-rock-labor-days-1","title":"LABOR DAYS","description":"Personnel includes: Aesop Rock, Illogic, C Rayz Walz.\nProducers: Aesop Rock, Blockhead, Omega One.\nEvery once in a while an MC comes along who has the ability to reaffirm listeners' faith in hip-hop as a medium for intelligent, poetic, personal expression. Aesop Rock is one such MC, and LABOR DAYS is his defining statement. A flagship artist of the underground label Def Jux, Aesop Rock brings a style that is blisteringly fast, impossibly dense, and overflowing with metaphors, images, puns, references, and narratives. Rock's voice and attack--a rapid-fire, somewhat nasal monotone--borrows from Kool Keith and Eminem, yet his highly literate rhymes are uniquely his own.\nAesop Rock's music is the antithesis of flashy, R\u0026amp;B-based commercial hip-hop, and his politically conscious, culturally aware lyrics are galaxies removed from the thug\/gangster themes of hardcore rap. Intriguing samples, featuring instruments like flute and sitar, flesh out the beats, but this is lyric-centered hip-hop, and Rock gives us plenty to absorb. Absorbing character-based narratives (\"No Regrets\") and slicing, alliterative tunes (\"Daylight,\" with its infectious, memorable chorus) are testaments to the rapper's sophisticated lyrical superiority.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 09\/24\/2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Aesop Rock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44598525362409,"sku":"08T74M-ZKPM-00","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/aesop-rock-labor-days_rBR46.jpg?v=1758817117","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/aesop-rock-labor-days-1","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
