Brainy wordsmith <a href="spotify:artist:2fSaE6BXtQy0x7R7v9IOmZ">Aesop Rock</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4UHzJP2iKVf0RhKIv7ZE2l">Black Moth Super Rainbow</a> mastermind <a href="spotify:artist:3ikKyCOrsMeANi0d5u8BCR">Tobacco</a> teamed up to form the abstract hip-hop duo Malibu Ken. Matching <a href="spotify:artist:2fSaE6BXtQy0x7R7v9IOmZ">Rock</a>'s surrealist wordplay with <a href="spotify:artist:3ikKyCOrsMeANi0d5u8BCR">Tobacco</a>'s spacy synth-funk production, the duo's debut, also titled Malibu Ken, was issued in early 2019.

The two artists first collaborated in 2008, when <a href="spotify:artist:2fSaE6BXtQy0x7R7v9IOmZ">Aesop Rock</a> guested on the song "Dirt" from <a href="spotify:artist:3ikKyCOrsMeANi0d5u8BCR">Tobacco</a>'s first solo album, Fucked Up Friends. Additionally, <a href="spotify:artist:7lUQ6qJqmulPSw8v2FnyD5">the Hood Internet</a> released a brief mixtape titled The Hood Internet vs Tobacco & Aesop Rock leading up to the release of the album. A decade later, the duo teamed up as Malibu Ken and signed to <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Rhymesayers+Entertainment%22">Rhymesayers Entertainment</a>. Singles "Acid King" and "Corn Maze" appeared in 2018, and the duo's eponymous full-length arrived in 2019. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
