Hail Mary Mallon - "D-Up"

Definitive Jux has for years been acknowledged as a true underground hip hop label who takes pride in being described as such. And for the length of his career Aesop Rock has been part of that movement (underground, only with Def Jux for last few years). Known for his complex and way-far-out lyrics (which at times makes you feel stupid for the fact that you have no idea what he is talking about), he has regularly produced material as a rapper and lately as a producer (most recently it was released that he will take the boards for the latest Slug/Murs Felt installment). Regardless, he has a great flow and an unmistakable voice. Here he has teamed up with Bronx's Rob Sonic (who revels in the same kind of thought-provoking, mind-bending lyrics that Aesop subscribes to) to create the duo Hail Mary Mallon. Although with no official release (EP or otherwise), their first single can be found on the Definitive Jux Presents...Vol. 4. It's the trip you'd expect from these two ace lyricists and the video is just as far out as their rhymes.
