1976

Ian Matthias Bavitz (born June 5, 1976), better known by his stage name Aesop Rock, is an American rapper and producer from Long Island, New York.

1990

He was at the forefront of the new wave of underground and alternative hip hop acts that emerged during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Bavitz attended Northport High School in 1990 and graduated in 1994.

Bavitz began rapping in the early 1990s.

He cites Public Enemy, BDP, KMD, and Run DMC as early influences.

Bavitz also listened to rock acts such as Dead Kennedys, Fugazi, and Ministry; he was introduced to these groups by his older brother Chris.

Bavitz started to play the piano and bass at an early age and eventually acquired a sampler.

1994

He met his future collaborator, Blockhead, in 1994 during the latter's only year at the school.

After hearing Aesop Rock freestyle, Blockhead decided to forgo his own dreams of rapping in favor of focusing on production.

Blockhead was involved with a crew in New York called The Overground that included Dub-L.

During his early adulthood, Aesop Rock held various odd jobs including positions answering phones for clothing catalogs, packaging artwork in art gallery storerooms and working for one-hour photo developers.

As a youth, Bavitz and his family would usually commute to New York City.

This had a great impact on him and the way he viewed the hip hop culture.

1997

He released his first album, Music for Earthworms, in 1997, with Float following three years later.

While attending college, Bavitz initially recorded and released two self-financed efforts, Music for Earthworms (1997), a full-length featuring underground artist Percee P on two tracks.

Bavitz also released a music video for "Abandon All Hope", which was one of the tracks on the CD.

The album sold over 300 copies, largely from a grassroots internet-based promotion at his website AesopRock.com and then-popular web portal, MP3.com.

1998

He acquired his bachelor's in 1998.

1999

With the money he made from his previous release, he then released his Appleseed EP in 1999 which received critical acclaim in the underground hip-hop circuit.

His early records were mostly produced by his long-time friend Blockhead and underground producer Dub-L.

After his breakthrough success in the underground hip hop and indie rap community, he was eventually noticed by the Mush label and obtained his first record deal in 1999, just a year after he graduated from college.

2000

Aesop released his first major album, Float (2000), with guest appearances from Vast Aire, Slug, and Dose One.
