Vast Aire (b. February 5, 1978) is a rapper from New York City. He is half of the New York hip-hop duo Cannibal Ox, which consists of himself and fellow rapper Vordul Mega. He is also a member of the rap group Atoms Family. He was born in Mount Vernon, New York, then lived in Jamaica, Queens before moving to Harlem, where he became acquainted with the underground hip-hop scene, performing in many clubs while still a teenager.

Vast Aire’s fame increased significantly as part of Cannibal Ox. Together with record producer El-P, their 2001 debut titled The Cold Vein that was a critical success. Since then, Vast Aire has pursued solo interests. His first solo album Look Mom… No Hands was released in April 2004. This was followed by The Best Damn Rap Show with DJ Mighty Mi from The High and Mighty in 2005. Contrary to popular belief, these solo projects did not break Vast Aire from his obligations at Definitive Jux with Cannibal Ox.

In addition to El-P, legendary producers Pete Rock and The RZA have reportedly signed on to contribute to the project.

Deuces Wild is only slightly better than Look Mom... No Hands. They're both pretty terrible compared to The Cold Vein or his Atoms Family work. What happened? Lyrically, Vast Aire got lazy. His production has also worsened. Deuces Wild is only a SMALL improvement over his first solo album, which was awful. What happened??

All this beef with Def Jux and Camu's legacy is uncalled for. Vast indeed does have Asperger's and I can see how he wouldn't see the right or wrong in the situation, as your social communication skills are defect when diagnosed with it. On another note, the beat on the diss is incredible.

Vast is one of the greatest rappers I've ever listened to. "Life's ill, don't get it pretzel'd/ I can't show you, but I can leave a stencil". His rhymes are way too ill

I agree 100% Zinc fingers. You can listen to the cold vein as an instrumental. Cannibal ox needs that blend of brillaint production AND the smooth lyrics.
