New York-born, San Francisco-based Aesop Rock (aka Ian Bavitz) is a critically acclaimed hip hop artist/producer, recognized for his dense and abstract word play. He was at the forefront of the new wave of underground and alternative hip hop acts that emerged during the late 1990s and early 2000s. His lyrics have been published in the New York Times Best Seller Hip Hop Speaks to Children, by author/activist Professor Nikki Giovanni, as well as Yale University’s Anthology of Rap. BetterPropaganda ranked him at number 19 of the Top 100 Artists of the Decade. Regarding his name, he said: “I acquired the name Aesop from a movie I had acted in with some friends. It was my character’s name and it sort of stuck. The rock part came later just from throwing it in rhymes.”
