Aesop Rock: None Shall Pass LP

Created over a two year period following Bazooka Tooth, 2007's None Shall Pass documents not only a vast amount of personal change that Aesop Rock experienced over this time but also deftly depicts scenes and stories relative to all ages of life. The majority of production duties were handled by Aesop's longtime partner Blockhead, while label mates El-P and Rob Sonic each make offerings. Aesop himself confidently produces a handful of his own tracks as well here. None Shall Pass debuted at No. 50 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, and No. 35 on the hHip Hop chart.
