Aesop Rock has a new album on the way. The rapper-producer enlisted Armand Hammer’s billy woods and Elucid, Open Mike Eagle, Lupe Fiasco, Homeboy Sandman, and Hanni El Khatib for Black Hole Superette. Watch Justin Coro Kaufman’s video for “Checkers” from the LP below.
“Checkers,” says Aesop Rock in a press release, “is about the neighborhood outside your home being the great leveler. You can’t show up feeling one way because the world will show you otherwise.” Black Hole Superette follows 2023’s Integrated Tech Solutions.
