Float is the second studio album by American hip hop artist Aesop Rock. It was released on Mush Records on September 5, 2000. The production is handled by Aesop Rock, Blockhead, and Omega One.
Reception
Brad Mills of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, calling it "surprising, analytical, darkness, mystery, lyricism, and jealous."[2]
In 2014, Joseph Schafer of Stereogum named it Aesop Rock's third best record and said: "The whole record sounds more anxious than his more assured later work, which makes for an exciting listen."[7]
