Originally released in 2002, Daylight EP was the
follow-up to Aesop Rock’s critically-acclaimed Labor
Days album, a cult classic released only six months
prior. The EP was built around its titular opening song,
“Daylight,” one of the standout tracks from Labor Days,
and continued expanding upon the range and depth of
Aesop’s multi-talented gifts for writing and producing.
In addition to the title track, Daylight EP also included
its counterpoint, “Night Light,” an alternate version in
concept whose paraphrased lyrics simultaneously refer
back to– and stand in stark opposition to– the
original's, over darker, more menacing production. The
tracklist for Daylight EP boasted seven songs plus a
hidden track for a total of eight, and collectively
featured production by Blockhead, El-P, Blueprint and
Aesop Rock himself, as well as guest appearances
from Vast Aire (Cannibal Ox) and Blueprint.At the time of its initial release, Daylight EP was only
offered in CD and digital formats, while the vinyl was
stripped back, available only as a three-song 12”
single. Now, Rhymesayers Entertainment is pleased to
present the complete EP on vinyl for the first time ever,
pressed on two-color side A/B effect orange & blue
vinyl to complement the original artwork. Finally, fans
and vinyl collectors everywhere can own this integral
piece of Aesop Rock’s legacy and enjoy the genius
behind this project.
