Aesop Rock

Where: Knitting Factory - 211 North Virginia Street, Reno
Genre: Hip Hop
Aesop Rock (born Ian Matthias Bavitz on June 5, 1976) is an American hip hop artist/producer. He was in the forefront of the new wave of underground/alternative acts that emerged during the late 1990s/early 2000s. He is signed to El-P’s Definitive Jux label.
Aesop's style blends a varying tone and delivery with lyrics that contain intricate sequences of widely varying imagery, metaphors, puns, absurdism, and pop culture references, while including the occasional touchstones of traditional hip hop storytelling and self-promotion. As a result of this unorthodox style, Aesop has become a controversial rapper among hip hop enthusiasts.
