Aesop Rock – 'Mystery Fish'
Aesop Rock is, for me, a hit-and-miss rapper. I don't mean he's bad at times: he's very good all of the time; for me, I can't take more of his intense lyrical delivery a few songs at a time. To me, he's like a speech-therapist's dream version of Run The Jewels.
This track just rocks. I love the build-up synthy intro; the song is the intro to the album The Impossible Kid. The horns in the song work so well with the beats and Aesop's rap. The lyrics have a lot to unpack.
