I love Aesop Rock. The Impossible Kid is one of my favorite albums. Looking to get into more hip hop. What I listen to I really enjoy but I just don’t have the same background in hip hop as I do in rock / Americana.
Other acts I enjoy: Run the Jewels, Gang Starr.
Thanks!
Some personal favorites
• Living Legends
• Immortal Technique
• Eyedea (aka Oliver Heart)
• MF DOOM
• Del the Funky Homosapien, Deltron 3030
• Cunninglynguist
• Blackalicious
• Brother Ali
• Atmosphere (Slug and Ant)
• Felt (Murs and Slug)
• Sage Francis
• Hieroglyphics (founded by Del)
• Jedi Mind Tricks
• The Grouch
• Digable Planets
• Black Star
• Biz Markie
• The Pharcyde
• Brand Nubian
• A Tribe Called Quest
This list is so good. Are you a Camu Tao fan? He was in a group called SA Smash way back and they had an album called smashy Trashy that I loved but feel like it was mostly ignored by the rest of the world. Give it a listen if you’re not familiar.
Latyrx are totally slept on

Shut it down, nothing more to add here
Starting on the list. Living Legends - Moving at the Speed of Life, just what I’m looking for. 👍🏾
Eyenine, Ecid, Eyedea and Abilities, The Underachievers
also, the rest of Aesop Rock's music if you haven't. there is a lot and it's all good.
Eyedea, another act I was exposed to by Tony Hawk 4. 👍🏾
Listening to more of their catalog, right up my alley. Thanks amigo.
haha, I actually discovered both Eyedea and Aesop Rock much later in life, but it was cool realizing they were both in THPS4
Haha yep. That game came out at a perfect time when my musical tastes were forming.
ATLiens by OutKast
Czarface & MF Doom - Czarface Meets Metalface
and if you haven't checked it out already: Aesop Rock & Homeboy Sandman - Lice, Lice II, and Lice III
Literally my all time favorite Aes material.
Checked out Lice. Katz is exactly the kinda stuff I’m looking for 👍🏾
Deca, CzarFace, JonWayne, MF DOOM, Atmosphere.
AWOL One - Souldoubt
Basically anything from the early Definitive Jux label
MF DOOM
Run the Jewels
Prof is pretty sweet too

Was wondering where my art rap homies were at
Aceyalone.
cLOUDDEAD.
Two of my favorite albums:
And I love Labor Days. First heard it right when I started working an office job in the aftermath of 9/11. Great album.
Tony Hawk 3&4 started my love of Aesop 🤘🏽
You probably already know it but he did a collaboration album with Tobacco called Malibu Ken that’s really good
Propaganda
Sage Francis, early Buck 65 albums like Vertex
Not super similar but i think you might enjoy some of watskys songs. Theres a live LP called “Lovely Thing Suit” thats pretty much one long song
Deca
Can't believe no one posted Aesop's side project with Rob Sonic called 'Hail Mary Mallon'. It's great 👍
Working through the suggestions you guys rock!
Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein
Produced by El-P from RtJ, and the two rappers are ones Aes worked with when he was with Def Jux. It's unlike any other rap album I've ever heard and it's incredible.
