In a previous post I got a little excited about a new Aesop Rock album, but after digging around a little deeper I’ve figured out that I wasn’t as much of a fan of Aesop as the guy producing the album – Blockhead.

I haven’t been able to stop listening to his albums since discovering his music. The majority of them are purely instrumental and completely unique and engrossing. Nothing at all like the kind of hip hop you may be used to hearing on the radio.

It wasn’t surprising to find out that he also produced some work for another artist I like – Murs.

I guess I’m going through a sort of rediscovery-of-underground-hip-hop phase – but I’m so blown away by the quality of music these guys are creating that I thought I’d share.

You should also check out Blu & Exile if you get a chance.
