Rhymesayers Entertainment

Rhymesayers Entertainment is an underground hip-hop label based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Founded by Sean "Slug" Daley of Atmosphere and Brent "Siddiq" Sayers, the label has been a driving force in the hip-hop scene since its inception. With a focus on showcasing talented artists and pushing boundaries, Rhymesayers has become synonymous with quality music.
Known for their unique sound and thought-provoking lyrics, Rhymesayers artists have gained a loyal following worldwide. The label's releases are highly regarded within the industry and have received critical acclaim from both fans and critics alike.
With an impressive roster of artists including Atmosphere, Brother Ali, Aesop Rock, and many more, Rhymesayers continues to be at the forefront of independent hip-hop. Their dedication to authenticity and artistic integrity sets them apart from other labels in the industry.

Aesop Rock is an American hip hop artist, painter, and producer. Born on June 5, 1976 in Long Island, New York, he has made a name for himself in the music industry. Formerly signed to Definitive Jux, Aesop Rock is now part of Rhymesayers Entertainment.
With his unique style and thought-provoking lyrics, Aesop Rock has gained a loyal fan base over the years. His music combines intricate wordplay with introspective storytelling, creating a truly captivating listening experience.
In addition to his musical talents, Aesop Rock is also known for his skills as a painter. His artwork often reflects the same creativity and depth found in his music.

When Aesop Rock debuted in the late 90s with Music For Earthworms and Appleseed, Blockhead was also a part of the process, not only as a producer, but also helping coordinate sales of the CDRs to hungry hip hop fans. Blockhead and Aesop continued to collaborate, creating an impressive list of songs along the way, including two of Aesop’s most popular songs to date; “Daylight” and “None Shall Pass”. In recent years, Blockhead has contributed production, as well as remixes, to many of Aesop’s solo releases and group projects, and Aesop has made a handful of guest features on Blockhead’s solo projects, but in all that time, Aesop and Block have never done a full album together, until now!

Garbology came together over the course of the pandemic, as well as in the midst of Aesop processing the loss of a close friend in January of 2020, resulting in a period of time of feeling uncreative. "Looking back on that time that feels both like yesterday and forever-ago", Aesop recalls, “The world got real weird during those months. I knew at some point I had to get back to making something. Make a beat. Draw a picture. Write. Just go. But the idea of making a beat felt like math homework, and drawing is just so hard. Writing is hard too, but at some point I had to pick one.” With writing as the chosen path, Aesop hit up Blockhead to send over some beats. At the beginning there wasn’t a plan for an album, or any particular plan beyond creating some songs. However, it wasn’t long before one song became a few, and then a handful, until finally an album was born.
