==Career==
Vast Aire's fame increased significantly as part of Cannibal Ox with Vordul Mega. Together with producer El-P, it recorded its debut album, ''The Cold Vein'', and released it in 2001. The album 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'', a collaborative effort with DJ Mighty Mi from The High & Mighty in 2005. These solo projects did not break Vast Aire from his obligations at Definitive Jux with Cannibal Ox. Vast has since gone on to work with members from the Megahertz crew, and was a member of The Weathermen alongside Copywrite, Yak Ballz, Cage, Aesop Rock, the late Camu Tao, and Tame One. However, he was kicked out of the Weathermen by Camu Tao after allegedly stealing from both Yak Ballz and Tame One. In 2009 he denounced the Weathermen group as a whole. This followed rapper and Weathermen founder Cage writing the song "Nothing Left to Say" about Vast Aire trying to profit from Camu Tao's death and then calling him out on his Myspace page.〔(awmusic.ca ) Vast Aire vs Def Jux.〕〔(www.wreckthetapedeck.com ) El-P Dishes Back Beef.〕 Vast Aire is also a part of a group called LXG, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
When asked about the meaning of his name, Vast Aire explained: "I guess it means mad styles. I think it means a lot of attitude. Vast Aire. I have a very wordy type of style. Vast was given to me by a friend of mine I went to school with and the Aire pretty much came from me being a junior. My name is Theodore Arrington II. I used to spell it proper. H-E-I-R. But, in the past couple of years, I switched it to A-I-R-E."
