Aesop Rock and producer TOBACCO come together as Malibu Ken. The duo has announced a debut self-titled full-length project and shared a demented animated music video for the psyche-warping first single “Acid King.” The video was directed by longtime Aesop collaborator Rob Shaw.
“TOBACCO and I have thrown around the idea of doing a project together since we first toured over a decade ago,” states Aesop. “I find his production to be something special, and always wanted to see what I could bring to it. We recently found time to record some songs, and Malibu Ken was born. I brought a few stories to the table, but also did my best to let the production dictate the subject matter throughout. We hope you like the soup.”
Malibu Ken will feature 10-song and be released January 18th on Rhymesayers. You can pre order the album here.
