Black Moth Super Rainbow's Aesop Rock and TOBACCO are teaming up for a collaborative record, and have shared the first taste "Acid King".

"Acid King" is the first single to be shared from Aesop Rock and TOBACCO's Malibu Ken record, and features a gross animation from Aesop Rock collaborator Rob Shaw.

Expanding on the duo's collaboration, Aesop Rock explains, "TOBACCO and I have thrown around the idea of doing a project together since we first toured over a decade ago. I find his production to be something special, and always wanted to see what I could bring to it. We recently found time to record some songs, and Malibu Ken was born. I brought a few stories to the table, but also did my best to let the production dictate the subject matter throughout. We hope you like the soup.”

Aesop Rock revealed new track "Klutz" earlier this year. His last record was 2017's Bushwick movie soundtrack.

TOBACCO's last album Ripe & Majestic (Instrumental Rarities & Unreleased Beats) also arrived in 2017.

Tracklist:

  1. Corn Maze
  2. Tuesday
  3. Save Our Ship
  4. Sword Box
  5. Dog Years
  6. Acid King
  7. Suicide Big Gulp
  8. 1+1=13
  9. Churro
  10. Purple Moss
"Acid King" is out now. Malibu Ken is expected to drop 18 January via Rhymesayers.
