2022-09-29 15:52:32 +0000 UTCthe lyrics get heavy but the way he can dissect ANY beat ... besides the fact he makes most of them too... Aesop is a total VIBE sometimes, but also checks boxes for when you need that mental workout. Very glad Stevie came back to Dorks! I think he'd dig Kirby and Supercell def has banging ass beat and ride to it. (I'm obvi very biased toward The Impossible Kid album as a whole LOL)

Also, it's pronounced A-Sop (like sop up a spill lol) I'm pretty sure he's basing it on Aesop's fables, the author that wrote animal stories with morals/lessons like the Tortoise and the Hare, the Mouse and the Lion etc
