Aesop Rock has a new collaborative project in the works with folk singer Kimya Dawson.
According to a recent report from 2DopeBoyz, the veteran Def Jux/Rhymesayers emcee and Moldy Peaches front woman have teamed up for a new side project under the moniker The Uncluded. The project will be a fusion of Dawson’s lo-fi folk leanings and Aesop’s rhymes.
The duo also took to Facebook to announce the release of their debut album Hokey Fright, out May 7th via Rhymesayers. The LP is currently available for pre-order via Fifth Element.
This isn’t the first time that Aesop Rock and Kimya Dawson have linked up on wax. The pair recorded a 10″ vinyl with Atmosphere for last year’s Record Store Day, and even appeared on each others’ respective solo efforts, Skelethon and Thunder Thighs.
Check out the video for The Uncluded’s debut single “Earthquake” below.

UPDATE: Rhymesayers Entertainment has announced that The Uncluded’s Hokey Fright will release May 7. The 16-track album will feature the single, “Delicate Cycle.”

Hockey FRIGHT not fight
the whackest shit aesop ever did
hipster rap?
Aes is stange enough as it is. Kimya is not the same weird. I don’t like the mix, but i’ve never seen aes smile so much in a single video. SO whatever makes him happy is cool i guess. (those pants are strange on him too.)
Stylistically he should stick to painting and producing with el-p, but for his own mental health, it seems she makes him content, even if he lyrically isn’t the same complex or deep as before.
This video is a travesty, i might add. evil 9 made more sense than this.
