YO,
Aesop Rock just finished up a 45 min original track for NIKE featuring yours truly on the cut.
We worked on this during the same time we were working on his new album "None Shall Pass"
due out later this year. This was about 2 weeks before the big accident so this was almost my last
work which of course would have made it become famous..... SOOOO CLOOOOSSSEEE!!! Oh well,
I guess we'll have to get famous the hard way. Ha.

I think it's pretty dope and the production Aes did for this is tight. It gave him a chance to stretch as a
producer and do and try some things outside of what he normally amazes us with . I was very impressed
and think he knocked it outta the park. Good stuff homie.. thanks for putting me down!

Here's what Aes had to say and some press from NIKE. Check out his page for a snippet of the track "All Day"

"All Day" Nike + Original Run series

hey all
i was asked to do a 45 minute long (mostly) intrumental song for nike's 'original run' series. i wouldnt call it my first intrumental album as i kind of approached it differently then i would a true inst album, but it is primarily intrumental, with some areas of vocals. this project has lots of live intrumentation, bass, guitars, keys, etc., and really has a consistently changing sound. there were a couple rules to follow, as i kinda had to make something that was as 'functional' as it was kinda cool to listen to. it really runs the gamut from super light and almost ambient to pretty dark and tuff, to eerie, to funky, etc etc. I really got to try things i dont think i would have ever tried elsewhere on this thing. dj big wiz does cuts throughout. allyson baker (former parchman farm member) plays guitar a lot. also, the music will come with a 'digital booklet' featuring 6 photos by the lovely and talented chrissy piper. should be available thru itunes feb 13th if youre interested. heres a snippet from the press release that went out:


AESOP ROCK COMMISSIONED FOR NIKE + ORIGINAL RUN SERIES!
Joining the ranks of renowned artists The Crystal Method and LCD Soundsystem, MC/Producer Aesop Rock has joined forces with Nike to release an original composition in the third installment of the "Nike + Orignal Run" series, available exclusively in the Nike Sport Music store on iTunes. All Day: Nike + Original Run, a 45-minute continuous mix, was created specifically with runners in mind and reflects Aesop Rock's distinct and unique style. "I wanted to create something that evolved enough that the sound was constantly fresh and attractive, as if the runner were moving through a set of differing cities or landscapes."
