The explosion of indie Hip Hop labels in the early 90s resulted in an ongoing snowball effect that started to shift the narrative around an artist's need to sign to a major label. Coincidentally, quality home recording equipment was also becoming more easily accessible and, with the rising popularity of CD-R technology, this allowed artists to write, record, and manufacture their own albums right at home.Appleseed was a highly celebrated and influential release from that era, cementing Aesop Rock as a new face whose talent could not be denied. The album explores creative concepts with inventive writing and stripped-down yet melodic and melancholic production. Six out of the eight songs were produced by Aesop Rock, with Omega One producing \"Sick Friend\" and longtime collaborator Blockhead handling \"1000 Deaths\", and the project's sole guest lyricist was Dose One.  The DIY process was followed in every aspect, as Aesop himself recalls, \"I did the Appleseed hand style while working at Tepper Galleries in NYC. The cover was made at Kinko's. The first Appleseed CD's were CD-R's I duped at home and sold from my backpack at an MF DOOM show at Brownies, which was right below my apartment at the time. I continued to sell hand to hand in NY, while Blockhead started fielding some mail orders from a young internet. People would send us cash or a check, and he'd cut the covers out and mail them off.\" The two of them were able to move a couple thousand CDs that way before turning their attention to newer projects, particularly Float in Aesop's case. As a result, Appleseed went out of print for many years before resurfacing as a merch item on tour. However, in all that time it was only available on CD, directly from Aesop. Finally, 21 years after it's debut, Appleseed officially returns, now available on all digital platforms, as well as on vinyl for the first time!","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50740716142887,"sku":"826257032614","price":27.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/6342\/6599\/files\/3971630-2719230.jpg?v=1764181268"},{"product_id":"aesop-rock-bazooka-tooth","title":"Aesop Rock - Bazooka Tooth","description":"Bazooka Tooth, Aesop Rock's fourth album, originally came out on Def Jux in 2003.

And, while every album Aesop has done since then has captured his continual evolution as both a producer and a writer, Float was undeniably exceptional in it's own right. For one, there was something impacting about a full-length album, 20 tracks deep, that never had any singles. Every track only existed as part of the album experience. That in mind, the album's production is split nearly in half between Aesop Rock and longtime collaborator and good friend, Blockhead, as well as one offering from Omega One, the Reggae-vibed \"Skip Town\". The album's production largely seems to have one collective goal, to immediately capture the intended mood, luring the listener in and leaving them attentive and prepared for the carefully crafted accompanying lyricism. Lyrics in mind, Aesop Rock is clearly the star of the record, but the few guest appearances, strategically spread throughout the album, are either the result of great foresight or unavoidable synergy-perhaps both-as Slug (of Atmosphere), Vast Aire (of Cannibal Ox), and Dose One were all right in the midst, or directly on the verge, of breakthrough career moments of their own around the same time they were featured on Float. As for Aesop, the album finds him diving deep into his intricate, visually descriptive and emotionally riveting writing style, which has only gotten more vigorous and diverse over time. His delivery feels settled into the hints of urgency, as if he is well aware that the journey and challenges, as well as triumphs, that he shall face are arduous and plentiful. Twenty years after it's debut, Float is a time capsule of an artist on the brink of fully tapping into creative freedom, while the industry was simultaneously in the middle of a notable shift, which still remains a powerful statement on it's own, decades later. To celebrate, Rhymesayers is re-releasing Float on 2xLP vinyl, available in three different, limited edition colorways!","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50740716437799,"sku":"826257032423","price":32.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/6342\/6599\/files\/3836125-2586183.jpg?v=1764181273"},{"product_id":"aesop-rock-i-heard-its-a-mess-there-too-red","title":"Aesop Rock - I Heard It's a Mess There Too - Red","description":"For Aesop Rock, the phrase \"I heard it's a mess there too\" started out as a lyric, but it didn't take long for that line to get it's hooks into him. It felt familiar, like a line he'd said a thousand times in recent years while checking in with friends across different cities, swapping stories about where each other are, and what's going on there. The more he sat with the phrase, the more it started to feel like the center of something bigger. I Heard It's A Mess There Too lives at the intersection of two personal urges for Aesop: the need to venture out and document your surroundings, and the desire to stay connected-especially when things feel uncertain.Musically, Aesop Rock explores some new territory on the album. \"I'd been building tracks the same way for many years,\" he says, \"but I made a conscious shift in my process here. I tried out some new tools and attempted to make my beats cleaner, more minimal. The drums are more stripped back, the bass lines are allowed to just sit, without layering ten things on top. I didn't want the beat and the vocals competing for attention-I just wanted enough to get a wave rolling and not much more, just setting a mood I could move to.\" These twelve songs mark different stops along that path of tinkering and looking for something new.","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50740716503335,"sku":"826257042712","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/6342\/6599\/files\/4465321-3473827.jpg?v=1764181274"},{"product_id":"aesop-rock-the-impossible-kid-1","title":"Aesop Rock - The Impossible Kid","description":"Limited double green and pink neon colored vinyl LP pressing in custom die cut jacket.

There's also moments of levity though, as Aesop taps into the funny side of his persona that he suppressed during the period where being taken as a serious lyricist was more of a priority.

It had been 5 years since his previous effort None Shall Pass was released, and his former label had been shuttered. Entirely self-produced, Skelethon became his first solo release on Rhymesayers Entertainment.The album's title, a portmanteau of \"skeleton\" and \"telethon,\" was a metaphor for what felt like a long period of adversity for Aesop.

Godspeed and good luck.\" Those are the words of the album's narrator - an attempt to prepare listeners, both old and new, for a safe entry into the Spirit World. It's been a long road for Aesop Rock to get here, releasing a steady stream of impressive albums, singles, and collaborative projects that have continued to invigorate, solidify and grow his diverse fan base, but he shows no signs of slowing down or deviating from his path, constantly pushing his creative limits. Last year saw the release of Malibu Ken, a joint effort featuring the psychedelic and trippy sounds of producer Tobacco, providing a different type of intrigue for Aesop's descriptive, compelling, and often humorous, writing. Then, he kicked 2020 off with a hard-driving single, \"Rogue Wave\", followed not long after by Freedom Finger, which found Aesop immersing himself in the video game world that the music was written and produced for. And this year still has a few exciting releases on the horizon yet, including the infinite heroics of \"Long-Legged Larry\", a 20-year anniversary vinyl release of his debut album, Float, and now his brand new album, Spirit World Field Guide. Since his debut in the late nineties, Aesop Rock's writing has been of the highest caliber, but one thing that has continually evolved is his near-flawless and diverse flow, now perfectly infused with his personality and a gift for visual imagery. On Spirit World Field Guide, characters, inanimate objects, and their surrounding environments vividly come to life as Aesop describes each passing moment throughout the album's twenty-one chapters.

In that time, the venerated duo have built a legacy out of bringing honesty, humility and vulnerability to the forefront of their music, continually challenging themselves to evolve without straying too far from their roots. Slug has proven masterful at storytelling and writing compelling narratives, leaving a trail of his own influence while paying homage to the rappers and songwriters that shaped him. Ant has skillfully molded the soundtracks with inspiration from soul, funk, rock, reggae, and the wizardry of hip-hop's pioneering producers, creating his own trademark sounds while providing the pulse for songs about life, love, stress and setbacks. At it's essence, Atmosphere has been a musical shepherd, and with each new album comes a new journey as they guide generations of listeners through this thing called life. Much like everything else in 2020 though, Atmosphere's new album, The Day Before Halloween, is something of a detour from the anticipated path. Cutting loose and eschewing their established norms, Slug and Ant have delivered the anti-pop answer to the content and compositions of previous albums. Over razor-sharp drums and distorted synths, The Day Before Halloween explores the life of a visual artist living in an antiquated surveillance state. It's menacing. It's murky. It's George Orwell meets Keith Haring at a video arcade, on New Year's Day, 1985.

Turning heads and drawing new fans in with Slug's introspective raps over producer Stress' hypnotic jazzy beat, the song was performed live frequently, becoming an audience favorite before ever appearing on an actual release. Even then, it was only a live performance they made available, and only on a limited mixtape they released in 1996. It would be another year before the 4-track studio recording would surface on Atmosphere's Overcast! EP, a collection of focus tracks promoting their debut full-length album, but \"God's Bathroom Floor\" never made it onto the album itself and slowly slipped into obscurity from there. Now, in celebration of it's 25th anniversary, the original recording has been unearthed, remastered, and pressed on this limited edition 7-inch vinyl.

Long past the belief that great art needs great pain, he challenges the trope that creativity must be born from trauma. Instead, Atmosphere's fifth release of the 2020s reflects a more grounded kind of struggle-one rooted in reflection, routine, and the work of becoming.The album's ambitious structure mirrors it's introspection: 26 songs, each titled with a different letter of the alphabet and sequenced from A to Z. Even guest appearances follow suit-Evidence lands on \"Effortless,\" Kurious on \"Kilowatts,\" and Musab, Muja Messiah, and Mike the Martyr appear on \"Mash.\" Many tracks are strikingly short-one or two verses at most-delivering sharp ideas with precision and restraint.More than a look back, Jestures is a meditation on movement and meaning. Slug weaves memory and present-day reality over Ant's richly textured beats, blending electro-glitch, warm twang, and cinematic drones. It's a mosaic of life's overlooked moments-how a partner's habits, a child's quirks, or a passing sound can reveal something new. What emerges is a story of progress, building toward a future defined by resilience and creative clarity.","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50740727873831,"sku":"826257041715","price":34.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/6342\/6599\/files\/4445194-3420572.jpg?v=1764181430"},{"product_id":"atmosphere-sad-clown-bad-dub-2","title":"Atmosphere - Sad Clown Bad Dub 2","description":"The Sad Clown Bad Dub series first started as a string of limited cassette tapes and CD-R's for Atmosphere to sell exclusively on tour. Since it's inception in 1999, the Sad Clown series has seen over a dozen iterations in numerous formats, including rare 4-track demos, live recordings, a DVD of behind-the-scenes tour footage, a mixtape, 7\" vinyl singles and more. To this day, one of the earliest volumes - Sad Clown Bad Dub 2 - still remains one of the most celebrated and coveted installments from the series.Originally released in 2000, Sad Clown Bad Dub 2 was a rather stripped-down DIY release - a simple CD tucked behind an illustrated cover with handwritten tracklist and liner notes. The recordings were equally as rough, consisting of a dozen raw 4-track demos that hadn't been treated to any sort of mixing or mastering. Although Atmosphere initially produced only 500 copies of these CD's to sell on the road for extra cash, the buzz and the subsequent demand from fans eventually led the group to pressing more of the CD's, this time stamping the cover art with the phrase \"Authorized Bootleg\" as a sly nod to those who'd been ripping and sharing the files. The unpolished nature of Sad Clown Bad Dub 2 was no deterrent from the appeal of it's contents though.Generally considered an underground classic in hip-hop circles, Sad Clown Bad Dub 2 is often mentioned as one of the standout releases in Atmosphere's extensive discography. It is a deeply introspective project that explores a range of complex thoughts and emotions, counter-balanced by occasional moments of darkly humorous sarcasm and wit. Slug's writing is sharp and insightful with a knack for turning his personal struggles into universal themes that listeners can relate to. Ant's production is minimalistic, moody, even eclectic in nature, full of atmospheric textures and unconventional rhythms. This release is very clearly one of the early stepping stones in developing their unique and distinctive sound together, helping to establish their reputation as one of the most innovative and boundary-pushing acts in hip-hop.We're excited to reintroduce the legendary Sad Clown Bad Dub 2, digitally remastered from the original 4-track tapes and available on all formats for the first time ever!","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50740728070439,"sku":"826257036018","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/6342\/6599\/files\/4222103-2986567.jpg?v=1764181433"},{"product_id":"atmosphere-sad-clown-bad-year-9-12-collection","title":"Atmosphere - Sad Clown Bad Year (#9-#12 Collection)","description":"Since it's incarnation as a string of tapes and CDRs for the band to sell on tour in 1999, the Sad Clown series has taken on numerous forms, including 4-track demos, live shows, a DVD, a mixtape, and 7\" singles.

From the subtle panic of \"Dotted Lines\" to the overt anxiety of \"In My Head,\" the tensions seem to cede, swell and then find resolve again through cautiously optimistic songs like \"Still Life\". Meanwhile, the rhythms on this album are some of Ant's most inventive. The playful percussion on \"In My Head\" acts as a counterweight to the roiling writing, while the drum patterns on \"Holding My Breath\" and \"Bigger Pictures\" allow Slug to play with his flow, underscoring the anxiety driving the record.Where previous albums in Atmosphere's catalog emphasized the parts of life that carry the most meaning-family, brotherhood, purpose-Realities is an unnerving excavation of paranoia, perspective and positivism.

They also have a sense of humor. But they're based out of Minnesota, and how do you get through those winters without a sense of humor? This 2014 release comes as a double album on a metalic silver vinyl.

The title was a nod to both leaking their own music as well as to the golden era hip-hop that inspired them. It sounded uniquely different from Atmosphere's recordings around this time. Ant was back digging into the funk \u0026amp; soul crates, producing sample driven tracks that sounded as if they were birthed alongside early hip-hop classics. Slug was rapping with a renewed passion, yet somehow sounded more casual and carefree, delivering endless wordplay with more technical rhyme patterns than their recent releases. Together, they created 13 exclusive songs that sounded as if they were having fun flexing different creative muscles without the pressure of any official album expectations - undoubtedly as rewarding an exercise for themselves as it was for the listeners. Soon after release, Strictly Leakage was briefly pressed on a limited run of vinyl and CD, but it wasn't long before they sold out, and fans were left chasing streams and digital files in order to hear it. Finally, the project returns to vinyl and CD so fans everywhere can own and appreciate this unique chapter in Atmosphere's story.","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50740728430887,"sku":"826257038913","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/6342\/6599\/files\/4320229-3129019.jpg?v=1764181439"},{"product_id":"atmosphere-talk-talk-pink","title":"Atmosphere - Talk Talk - Pink","description":"The title of the most recent Atmosphere album, May 2023's So Many Other Realities Exist Simultaneously, evokes the multi- versal storytelling that's recently vaulted into the mainstream consciousness. With their latest effort, the irrepressible Talk Talk EP, the Minneapolis legends dart across threads of space-time to grab hold of the one where Slug and Ant became titans of the electro-rap that was foundational to their youths. By evoking acts like Kraftwerk and Egyptian Lover, Atmosphere makes visions of the future from four decades ago seem new once again, the relentless forward churn of technological optimism reimagined as an endless loop with irresistible drums. The genesis of the Talk Talk EP was the session for a song of the same name that appeared on So Many Other Realities Exist Simultaneously. A collaboration with Lifter Puller alum Bat Flower, the song \"Talk Talk\" exists alongside electro classics in an uncanny valley that's been warped into a sweaty nightclub, at once vaguely alien and deeply human. Enamored with the song's outcome, Slug and Ant returned for a longer exploration of the sound, to mesmeric results. The pulsing \"Rotary Telephone,\" where the TV antennas seem tuned to a world just slightly askew from ours, thrives on the tension between Slug's careening vocals and the song's taught structure-form matched perfectly with content. And on \"Hear Hear,\" the struggle to make human connections is revealed as a beautiful one. For all it's well-documented roots in disco and R\u0026amp;B, rap's connection to the electronic music of the 1970s and '80s is a core part of it's DNA. The Talk Talk EP is one of the clearest articula- tions of this truth to emerge in many years, a testament to the communal power of programmed sound. For proof, look no further than \"Traveling Forever,\" the haunting missive that closes out the record. Images flash: of police knees on necks, of prying cameraphones, another empty hotel room indistinguishable from the last. \"I never got to learn how to dance for you,\" Slug raps, pointedly. \"I don't know whether or not that's an attribute.\" A chill runs down your spine but the skull at it's top keeps nodding.","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50740728496423,"sku":"826257037312","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/6342\/6599\/files\/4254915-3047967.jpg?v=1764181441"},{"product_id":"atmosphere-to-all-my-friends-blood-makes-the-blade-holy-the-atmosphere-eps","title":"Atmosphere - To All My Friends, Blood Makes The Blade Holy: The Atmosphere EP's","description":"Double vinyl LP pressing. Similar to their now-legendary Lucy Ford release, Atmosphere had originally conceived To All My Friends, Blood Makes The Blade Holy as two separate EP's (To All My Friends and, of course, Blood Makes The Blade Holy). Much like Lucy Ford, the desire to simplify the concept for the sake of tour merchandising and retail distribution led them to join the two EP's together, packaged onto one CD. However, unlike Lucy Ford, neither of these individual EP's were ever made available for purchase on vinyl - though the most attuned fan would point out there was a very limited pressing of the To All My Friends EP tucked inside the first deluxe print edition of photographer Dan Monick's photo essay book, 7 Years With Atmosphere, but that vinyl was never sold separately, much less granted packaging or artwork.","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50740728561959,"sku":"826257032119","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/6342\/6599\/files\/3840074-2611193.jpg?v=1764181442"},{"product_id":"atmosphere-whenever","title":"Atmosphere - Whenever","description":"Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 release. For over 20 years, Atmosphere has pursued the underbelly of what it means to be human with a rabid curiosity. Ant's dusky production has provided the pulse for Slug's evolving and matter-of-fact pen. As Slug transitioned from throwing-up-in-the-backseat-raps to holding-hands-when-you-cross-the-street-raps, Ant has grown to be a master of crate digging and unearthing the humanity of a drum loop. Thriving at the intersection of guttural and self-effacing, Atmosphere will go down as some of America's best archivists. On Whenever, the duo continue to move in lockstep. Within the minutiae lie clues they're still struggling with mortality and the need to protect emotional energy, as on previous releases, but there's a quiet romanticism now, with Slug sounding-reluctantly-in love with life. And no other producer can pull truths out of a rapper like Ant fishes the blues out of Slug. The album breathes in the way only Slug and Ant could summon a collective breath. On Whenever, the duo inhale panic and exhale greatness.","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50740728627495,"sku":"826257030016","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/6342\/6599\/files\/3786919-2566662.jpg?v=1764181443"},{"product_id":"atmosphere-when-life-gives-you-lemons-you-paint-that-shit-gold","title":"Atmosphere - When Life Gives You Lemons You Paint That Shit Gold","description":"Standard LP packaging includes 12\" metallic gold jacket housing double gold colored vinyl with lemon scented labels, black dust sleeves, 20-page lyric booklet, and free digital download card containing full album MP3's, two bonus tracks \"Keyboard\" \u0026amp; \"Vanity Sick\" and live performance video footage from Atmosphere at First Avenue.

Steering back toward their signature sound, the album further highlights producer Ant's undeniable talents as the project leans into the classic boom-bap aesthetic, bringing a unique energy out of Slug's wisdom, wit and delivery. From onset, WORD? proves to be every bit an exercise in refining and advancing their craft as it is a harkening to earlier work. That is, while their releases have grown more broodingly cinematic, and increasingly concerned with the human condition and mortality, WORD? manages to reintroduce moments of levity and lightheartedness throughout, an approach seldom heard on their albums of late.From album opener \"Fleetwood,\" with it's razor-sharp snares and warm fleshy bassline, to the resonant melody of \"Clocked\", there are strong hints of Atmosphere's nascent years within the sound. Meanwhile, songs like\"Woes\", \"Strung\" and \"Vanish\" cheerfully make light of daily hardships, but they're more likely to be remembered for making listeners want to bob their heads and sing along. With Slug and Ant directing the course, the album plays like a joyride through a range of experiences and emotions, with an extensive cast of special guests hopping in and out along the way, including Evidence, Muja Messiah, Musab, Nino Bless, Nikki Jean, Anwar HighSign, BlackLiq, Sa-Roc, Haphduzn, Lateef the Truthspeaker, Aesop Rock, and the late MF DOOM (RIP). The result is a project that feels like it came from the era or, perhaps more fittingly, the mindset that created albums like God Loves Ugly, Seven's Travels, or the popular Sad Clown series, while sounding as polished and perfected as more recent albums like Mi Vida Local or Whenever.Ultimately, WORD? pairs the breadth of Atmosphere's talents with the beauty of their growth, all while showing they still have a lot of fun in the process and don't mind letting the listener in on the fun as well.","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50740728856871,"sku":"826257033017","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/6342\/6599\/files\/3997596-2747834.jpg?v=1764181446"},{"product_id":"atmosphere-you-cant-imagine-how-much-fun-were-having","title":"Atmosphere - You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having","description":"After being out of print for years, Atmosphere's fifth studio album, You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having, returns on vinyl.
