Today Aesop Rock has released a single from the album Skelethon. Still no word on a leak though. Aesop keeps a tight grip on his tracks. The track is available on his Soundcloud to stream(http://soundcloud.com/rhymesayers/04-zero-dark-thirty/s-VFra3).
This guy puts his heart into his work. I could see how one could rationalize biting a Kanye West or Justin Bieber record, but these esoteric artists don’t move a lot of units. Just buy the fckin album.
I agree, although, I would still want to get my hands on a leaked copy and buy the album on release day.
I feel the same as @FeelC0llins,
I regularly download leaked albums from smaller, indie artists, then after the album hit the streets I buy it or at least download it on iTunes.
Yep I do the same thing. I pretty much download all albums and always buy the albums to support the artists I like. Many times I’ve preordered an album and it has leaked before I receive the album so I download it cause I can’t wait to hear it.
well any underground artist knows about making money off of torrents and file sharing if i made music i would make money regardless and the way they really make money is through shows and merch i believe in buying an album if its good but im going to download it first and buy it when i have the money cuz this is america and when shit sucks you get your money back but you cant return cds
Holy shit. Have you ever heard of a period? Here…have a few…give them a try. There are plenty more where that came from.

what did America do before the internet? buy music before we heard it.
i’m amazed this hasn’t leaked yet. aes and rhymesayers got this shit on lock. but i’m patiently waiting for my preorder and gettin down to the snippets on YOUTUBE.
SKELETHOOOOOOOOOON!
Simply had to edit in the ZZZ Top video. Amazing.
I already bought a pre-order copy but I’m just pissed that the physical copy doesn’t come with the iTunes bonus tracks. BS.
