    Dude the start of that second verse has stuck with me for a decade. Starting at 2:08 he completely reinvents the concept of how a bar's lyric time signature is typically displayed in flow in a way I've never heard before by using his rhyme and cadence alone. A masterful display of syncopation. Absolutely genius.

    As a fan for 10+ years now I've often considered righting Ace a fan letter. But I don't know where I'd write, or what I'd say.

      Dude, same. I just want to tell him thank you. The amount of times I've listened to the song Daylight is no joke, and that's just that song. I've listened to him since 2010. He's influenced my music taste vastly, and thus, he has influenced me. He should know how he's helped people like us.

      TDL, I have a solid Rhymesayers contact who’s pretty high up in the organization. Let me reach out to him and see what he advises. Might not result in much of anything, but I’ll try and at least see how he recommends you best reach out to him. We might need to email, but let me see what he says, and I’ll get back w/ you. Seems like you only have really sincere, genuine intentions, so I’m more than willing to try.

    This is the most meaningful song ever made to me. That horn sample goes all the way to my soul, and then of course Aesop with the lyrical brilliance. This era of Aesop Rock was something special that most dont even know about.
