Aesop Rock & TOBACCO are Malibu Ken (Full Album Stream)

[@Mr_Jish]

Words cannot express how much profound respect I have for Rhymesayers; Despite having (and in some cases even facilitating the purchase of) the album and affiliated merch for sale, they're still streaming the full album for free for those who might not currently have the cash to drop. Y'all know what I'm saying, so I'll leave it with this: *MAD* love to Aes, Tobacco, & Rhymesayers for continuing to actively promote love of the craft rather than love of the coin. Thank you for making my whole year despite it only being January, and I can't fuckin wait for my vinyl of Malibu Ken's debut album to arrive!

The musical qualities of the first track resonate with me in such a intrinsically fluent way. I feel like I am transcending mind and body when I hear the fire bars. You just can't listen to this without changing in some way. After this album, my kids finally opened up to me in a such a emotionally vulnerable way that it brought tears to my eyes. George Jr. never told me about his anxiety before. His grades have dropped and I've been worried. But after showing this album to him he immediately went to his room and did his homework. It was so well done that on parent teacher day Mrs. Jones - sorry, Ms. Jones, asked me what had changed. Simply enough, Churro had changed my son into a different young man. Filled with intrinsic curiosity and wonder he now takes on the world with newfound bravery and social awareness. Just the other day he asked me, "one strawberry jelly one glazed?". I answered, "yeah".

The lyrics are scattered with references to the West (wildfires, hi ho silver) and to desolate places (bars in Bartertown). So I think either it's about the disillusionment of life on the west coast not being what he imagined, or is a reflection on what motivated him to "go west" in the first place.

I've been listenin to aes since my early teens and somehow it would seem that we were always in a way synced, his songs would always reflect on my own thoughts and life as if he was narrating it, this was extremely obvious to me when impossible kid released, and also matched with an intense depressive episode that started a day before Hot Dogs got published. But these days i've felt like i lost myself, to not elaborate too much, an existential crisis would be a sort of kinda description of what i'm goin through. And guess what the fuck is up, aes comes in, says everything i think and feel in a 30 minute amalgamation of decorated reality and reminds me that i am indeed a lonely weirdo in a proverbial barn, with a couple of weirdo friends and shitty luck, but at the same time he gives me back my pride of sincerely being who i am.

He came back home for a year and couldn't get used to the 9-to-5 and the responsibilities thrust upon him. He moved back to the mountains where he spends his days climbing, chilling, driving around and collecting waste for a bit of cash. Some people would be pissed off at that.

Are you going to try and guess the order?

[@billbaldwin4711]

Tobacco fits so many beats into a less than 35 minute album. I'd love to hear him expand on em

[@jaimeking501]

I really like Sword Box

[@JockoJonson17]

Yes

[@dreeberg]

Aesop. You have done more for my mental health and ability to find understanding in this maelstrom of cacophony that reverberates mirrored static than any one source i have found. Thank you for your earnest circus you verb turning noun purist

[@michaelauberry1564]

Thank you so much for turning me on to this, Melon.

[@shiddy.]

found aesop's music years ago ... been thankful ever since

This cartoon is looking around my apartment for something to steal.

[@snailsaredumb9412]

Ken's seen better days, just keep the silverware locked up, and you should be good

[@Brandon-rb4sm]

You definitely don’t have to worry about him stealing your soap

[@bFOURdwZEROlf]

The infinite layers of depth from Tobacco to Aesop Rock, or is it the other way around? It's so into itself it sounds like a galaxy that is self-contained in itself. Another Dimension I've been looking for in music for so long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevebob240]

Aesop blows my mind every time I hear him. I love BMSR and Tobacco too, this is an amazing collab!

[@mwpof]

aesop kills it once again. great production. love the overall message of Malibu Ken. gonna cop the CD, great artwork and fun layout, that mask is a must xD

[@epitomeofoops]

I put this on during my three hour highway drive this morning, and I loved the whole album start to finish. It's so grimey and raw, different from what I'm used to hearing.

[@craigstuckey319]

This is so good. Why am I just now hearing this? Is this relatively underground? Because I thought hip-hop was dieing. This is refreshing.

[@DrPepper380]

Craig Stuckey Aesop is definitely underground. Got a lottttt to dive into if you are just hearin him now. Glad y found him. Been listening to Aesop for a minute now, glad to see him still improving.

[@th3SyLvEsTeR]

This is beautiful. I wasn't expecting this today but it's one thing I kind of always wanted

When do we get more filthy hip hop?!?

[@miffleman1]

Dear Aes, Thank you for never letting me down ❤

[@delta666SoT]

can't like Aes' work enough.

[@johnflushing9328]

This Collab is straight fire 🔥🔥🔥!!!

[@JazzyAnasazi]

Going from Earthworms to all his work in the latest decade feels like a true evolution of a rapper that can't possibly be compared to any other, because he's still along the lines of being absolutely mind blowing and wordy, yet the cohesion, aka the glue of his lyricism gets better and better as he has progressed throughout the years. His delivery is flawless, his flow, like a finely tuned wave crashing on a shore of amazing instrumental works, personally I like the synth stuff, just as much as the industrialism or the classic hip hop beats, because it all sounds great since it's Aes dude

[@aoxomoxoajones5171]

Go get a dictionary and a thesaurus and study them daily for a decade and you will not reach Aesop level. loving these Tobbacco grooves. Mind fucked, I've listened to this 50 times since it dropped.

[@juiceboxheroooo9752]

It's funny you say that because that's exactly what Aes does.

[@eightbitgnosis]

The more I listen the more I love the contrast between the hyper simplicity of Tobacco and the verbose tangle of Aesop's rhymes

[@nolanbaumann]

Just listened to the whole album. Great work guys, my vinyl should be in the mail today too can’t wait to spin it again. Cheers Aesop and tobacco

[@loamyyy]

these styles compliment eachother so fuckin incredibly
