Aesop Rock to Reissue the Classic 2002 “Daylight” EP with Rhymesayers This March

The Esteemed EP to Be Available on Vinyl for the First Time; Pre-Orders Now Open

Aesop Rock, the distinguished figure in underground hip-hop, is set to reissue his classic 2002 EP, “Daylight,” through Rhymesayers Entertainment on March 29. For the first time, the complete original tracklist will be available on 12″ vinyl, alongside CD and cassette formats, featuring seven songs plus a hidden track. This marks a significant release for fans and collectors, as the EP was previously available in an abridged vinyl version and fully only on CD and digital platforms.

The “Daylight” EP, initially released following the success of Aesop Rock’s critically acclaimed album “Labor Days,” includes the seminal track “Daylight” from the album. The EP is celebrated for exploring contrasting themes, most notably through the inclusion of “Night Light,” a song that serves as a conceptual counterpoint to “Daylight,” featuring paraphrased lyrics over a darker production. This reissue will allow listeners to experience the EP’s full range and depth, showcasing Aesop Rock’s multifaceted talents as a writer and producer.Aesop Rock To Reissue The Classic 2002 &Quot;Daylight&Quot; Ep With Rhymesayers This March, Yours Truly, News, May 8, 2024

The upcoming reissue will feature a two-colour side A/B effect on orange and blue vinyl, chosen to complement the original artwork. Additionally, a limited “Night Light” vinyl variant will be available, pressed on tri-colour (blue, silver, and black) galaxy effect vinyl and presented in a foil-stamped and numbered jacket. Fans can pre-order the reissue and exclusive merchandise designs now at aesoprock.com.

Aesop Rock’s announcement of the “Daylight” EP reissue follows the release of his recent album, “Integrated Tech Solutions,” noted for being his most expansive and psychedelic work to date. The artist also shared a self-drawn and animated video for “Pigeonometry,” a track from the album reflecting artistic discipline. The video, and by extension the album, delves into the fictional corporate world of Integrated Tech Solutions, highlighting Aesop Rock’s continued innovation and creativity in both music and visual art.

This reissue not only celebrates a pivotal moment in Aesop Rock’s career but also offers fans new and old the opportunity to delve into the rich, nuanced world of one of hip-hop’s most enduring voices. With “Daylight” returning to the forefront, listeners are invited to revisit or discover Aesop Rock’s profound contributions to the genre.
