History
In 2007, Tobacco's band Black Moth Super Rainbow opened for part of a North American tour headlined by Aesop Rock.[1] According to Aesop, he and Tobacco had wanted to work together on a project since their meeting during this tour, with Aesop calling Tobacco's production "something special".[2] The following year, Aesop featured on the track "Dirt" from Tobacco's debut album Fucked Up Friends.[3] In November 2018, the pair announced that they were releasing their debut album under the moniker Malibu Ken in January 2019, and released the album's first single "Acid King" and its accompanying music video at the same time.[2] The second single, "Corn Maze", released the following month, also with a music video.[4] On January 18, 2019, Malibu Ken was released by Rhymesayers Entertainment.[3]
