Biography

Ian Matthias Bavitz (born June 5, 1976), better known by his stage name Aesop Rock, is an American rapper and producer from Long Island, New York. He was at the forefront of the new wave of underground and alternative hip hop acts that emerged during the late 1990s and early 2000s. He was signed to El-P's Definitive Jux label until it went on hiatus in 2010. In a 2010 retrospective, betterPropaganda ranked him at number 19 at the Top 100 Artists of the Decade. He released his first album, Music for Earthworms, in 1997, with Float following three years later. Labor Days, his third studio album, was released in September 2001. His next release, titled Bazooka Tooth, released 2 years later in September 2003. His fifth studio album, None Shall Pass, was released in August 2007. Its titular song became one of Ian's most popular and well-known songs. His sixth record, Skelethon, was released in July 2012. His seventh release, The Impossible Kid, came out in April 2016. His eighth album, Spirit World Field Guide, came out in November 2020, with his ninth album, Garbology, released in November 2021. Integrated Tech Solutions, his tenth album, was released in November 2023. He was a member of the groups The Weathermen, Hail Mary Mallon, and the Uncluded, and is currently the vocalist of duo Malibu Ken. Regarding his name, he said: "I acquired the name Aesop from a movie I had acted in with some friends. It was my character's name and it sort of stuck. The rock part came later just from throwing it in rhymes."

LYRICS

Watch your step
Watch your mouth
We all know the way that a punk goes out
4 and 21 crows,
None go south,
For the supper when a punk goes out,
Checkerboard of mothballed death-forms,
Hauled via vaudeville canes,
And encased where the claw marks wane off Broadway the god way,
Watch, our father,
Commuters from the farms with news of el chupacabra,
Who transfuse soup out a fresh punk skull,
Dumb full blood suckers,
Only the chum suffers,
Pine box butcher,
Encouraging poor lighting,
Said “a pall bore not a sure sign of jarred lightning",
Harsh, that's how the yellow spine-diner was born,
Feral feeding that strung his organs up like tire swing art,
Chippin' a drippy set of broke bone grinders,
More for the hive mind,
Less for the land mine finders,
Fine, no de facto leaders in the eatery,
Unless you count the way they led his heart through his tuxedo tee,
Straight out the front

4 and 22,
Cue the cut throat mouth,
Chew together when a punk goes out,
Etiquette of tart-tongued ghouls,
Never run truck jewels,
Run a culinary school for gluttony-drunk wolves,
In guttural grunts,
Smothering buttery lung Ramen,
Early sign of punk showed up on the diagnostic,
Hm, pardon if I seem stand off-ish,
All the see-sawed loss, I cant call it,
All petite drawn straws and orange caution,
Or outcast creeps re-involved for absolvement,
It's gaudy, plus when a hell-bound offspring and yours share an office all evolve salty,
Watch, if fortune is a bitch with venom and laser tits,
Maybe sin'll make for sugar-flavored flesh,
Kings taste terrible at best and rest in peace raw,
The rest are recipes,
Caw!

Watch your step
Watch your mouth
We all know the way that a punk goes out

Right now
Forever
