Aesop Rock + Blockhead Drop "Pumpkin Seeds" Featuring Lupe Fiasco — All For A Good Cause

Aesop Rock has unveiled a surprise collaboration with longtime collaborator and friend Blockhead for a new standalone single “Pumpkin Seeds” featuring Lupe Fiasco. The track was created in an effort to help nonprofit organization The Collaboratory raise funds and awareness for two DIY skateparks in Dayton, Ohio: the Claridge Park DIY in Central Dayton and Home Ave DIY in West Dayton—both located in an area often overlooked by broader social initiatives. 

Featuring artwork illustrated by Justin "Coro" Kaufman—the same artist who created the artwork for Spirit World Field Guide—the song is available on DSPs via Rhymesayers with a limited 7” vinyl edition (in three variants: black vinyl and two deluxe colored vinyl editions) as well as exclusive “Pumpkin Seeds” shirt and skate deck designs set for release February 17. Proceeds from this release and its associated merchandise will go toward funding the two skateparks in Dayton. Pre-orders are here.
