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

How to make a homemade mummy:
get a corpse, get gauze, get comfy,
shampoo and disinfect dead for the hallowed excavation of his x-marked tummy,
stem to stem, the butter cutter b-lines well,
tongs butterfly the unzipped feline shell,
we'll be escorting vital organs with exception of the precious kitten heart's into the privacy of separate picklejars,
or mayonnaise orjelly pick a card,
shit, pick a part and scissor, stomach, lung, intestine or liver,
in a world of sanitizers and preservatives forever,
brain exterminated through the whiskers, ditched,
I blank NY alone, we usher in the salts that call the husk home,
might embalm and stiffen and rid the fawn of all his liquids,
slather it in beeswax,
wrap it up in ribbons,
like limb by limb,
by tail by ear by chin,
within the hereafter I hereby win,
I hope you vow to meow another day and never decompose,
by the way before we seal these molds, the shorten version goes

take the brain out, leave the heart in,

Gadzooks, punk's dead,
last good gut wrenched,
antennae sarn cook,
black book Pushead,
cat skulls stacked to the black hole sunset,
olive on a toothpick,
Dagwood Bumstead,
tagged-hoof hatchery,
matter amass naturally,
bad wolf,
dash for the last rook castling,
blue ox,
red plaid bass pro flannel king,
hasbro crown,
sour apple Abba-Zabba teeth,
in poorly taken pictures antiquating on his mantlepiece,
before we only spoke in letters cut from magazines,
folk broke bear claws over gross coffee,
not as milquetoast men,
as los muertos walking,
ergo the scarecrow in rare barley,
squared-off harpie to armchair: say a prayer for me,
I feel that mystifying times have gotten ugly,
I also feel that you could learn a lot from a mummy

take the brain out, leave the heart in
