"Who The FUCK is Aes Rock?!" - Coma
A dope underground hip hop artist. People often pass his music off as whatevs simply because they hear it but they aren't really listening. Most of his songs tell incredible stories and have deep meanings that most kids just wrap their minds around so they go back to listening to Chris Brown and Drake.

Discog. Music foe Earthworms Appleseed Float Labor Days Daylight EP Bazooka Tooth Fast Cars, Danger, Fire, and Knives EP
An emcee best known for his symbolic raps, so much to the point that you might have to listen to his songs multiple times to understand his meaning. His CD's include "Labor Days", "Bazooka Tooth", "Float", and "Fast Cars, Danger, Fire, & Knives." His topics cover such a wide range he's impossible to classify within rap itself; rather, he encompasses all stretches of hip-hop (save the crappy mainstream stuff, which shows the soul and poetic ability of a mentally challenged sea horse).

Aesop Rock's "Labor Days" is one of my favorite albums.
