This is Aesop&#8217;s seventh solo studio album and was completely self-produced. He made half of the album in a barn and the other half in an urban environment. <em>The Impossible Kid<\/em> is similar to his previous works, dense with words and the signature Aesop voice, but is easier to understand and the improved beats make it enjoyable for all listeners. Unlike other hip hop ventures his songs have meaning and tell a story. He tackles themes such as massive egos in hip hop, tributes to household pets, and growing up in a Christian home.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: El-P, Atmosphere, Busdriver<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 2 (Rings), 3 (Lotta Years), 4 (Dorks), 9 (Shrunk)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: 7 (Blood Sandwich), 11 \u00a0(TUFF), 14 (Water Tower)<br \/>\nWritten by Zach Yunk on 09\/15\/2016 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Aesop Rock&#8217;s seventh solo studio album his lyrical genius is on display and pairs well with his self produced beats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":49449,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[182],"tags":[5407,5408],"class_list":["post-49448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hip-hopelectronic-rotation","tag-aesop-rock","tag-the-impossible-kid"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Aesop-Rock.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
