Former Definitive Jux artist and current Rhymesayers signee Aesop Rock (real name Ian Bavitz) has announced a massive nationwide tour for his upcoming album, The Impossible Kid, which is due out April 29.
The tour kicks off May 5 in Bellingham, WA and wraps up July 14 in Dallas, TX. The Impossible Kid is Bavitz’s first solo album since 2012’s Skelethon.
The consistently cryptic wordsmith has been crafting his unique style of rhymes since emerging with 1997’s Music for Earthworms. His lyrics are generally both complex and abstract, while being somewhat verbose at the same time. His verses are usually so detailed, it becomes an exercise in patience to decipher them all, a trait that makes his music that much more intriguing.
Homeboy Sandman, Rob Sonic (his rhyming partner in Hail Mary Mallon), DJ Sosa and DJ Zone join Bavitz on the bill.
