Aesop Rock has unveiled his latest (and possibly greatest) album, Black Hole Superette, out today via Rhymesayers Entertainment. Entirely self-produced and stacked with features from rap luminaries like Lupe Fiasco, Homeboy Sandman, Open Mike Eagle, and Armand Hammer’s billy woods and Elucid, the LP stands as one of his most technically dazzling works yet. To mark its release, Aesop shares the music video for standout track “Costco,” directed by longtime collaborator Justin “Coro” Kaufman. The visual captures Aesop performing in a gas mask while Coro crafts an intricate graffiti piece. Black Hole Superette explores the unseen forces shaping our lives, from fluorescent-lit corner stores to the fragmented paths we navigate daily, all wrapped in a hazy, dreamlike soundscape.
But Aesop Rock didn’t stop at the music he built an entire world around it. The Black Hole Superette Experience is a surreal first-person exploration game that plunges players into a bizarre convenience store filled with hidden meanings, exclusive audio fragments, and cryptic wisdom from Aesop himself. As fans wander the virtual aisles, they unlock deep cuts, Easter eggs, and lore only the most devoted will decipher. The game mirrors the album’s themes, blurring reality and imagination while offering an immersive dive into Aesop’s mind. Ready to step inside? Play the game here.
