Aes is back with another hip hop classic
Hip Hop poet Aesop Rock is back with a brand new album, "None Shall Pass," and with it, he continues his legacy as one of underground hip hop's most exciting and intelligent ambassadors.

Hip Hop poet Aesop Rock is back with a brand new album, "None Shall Pass," and with it, he continues his legacy as one of un... more
