Aesop Rock Releases “Lotta Years” Video

Back in May, Aesop Rock earned the best first week sales of his career with The Impossible Kid. The former Def Jux artist takes fans back to that solo LP wtih a music video for the album cut "Lotta Years."

The video follows the same formula as his "Lazy Eye" video, which dropped in April. Instead of being "Live From the Peculiarium," Aesop's latest creation is "Live From the Hill." The veteran MC actually raps his verses - as opposed to lip-synching - in some local shops for the new visual.

Fans will get an opportunity to see Aesop spit those bars in person on the Hey Kirby Tour. The New York native is hit the road later this week with his Lice 2 collaborator Homeboy Sandman. Check out all of the tour dates below.
