Esinchill - Soul of the City ft. Dave Hollister
Artist: Esinchill
Producer: Konstantine Jones [for RCeason]
Album: Vigilante
Label: RCeason/Jake Records
The Bay has always been known for its sense of style, rebellious culture and originality. Thus, it is very interesting to hear the plight of East Oakland, California native, Esinchill, who tries to find solid footing on his brand new song, Soul of the City. With an R&B boost from Dave Hollister, this uplifting track finds Esinchill trying to carve out his own identity amongst well-known Bay Area hip-hop/funksters like E-40 and Too Short. Producer Konstantine Jones provides a well-thought-out blueprint to fit Esinchill’s design, but Soul of the City is more likely to touch your soul than it is to be played in your city. Esinchill’s brand new album, Vigilante, is set for a mid-to-late February/early march release; a project he hopes will certify the “Oakland Folklore” as a bona fide urban legend.

The production and hook sounded pretty tight. Esinchill sort of reminded me of GemStones. I don't know, maybe because I just finished listening to his mixtape this morning. The mix on here is sort of low grade though. I can throw this in rotation, because it's OK...and the hook is nice. It's nothing super special though. OH, AND YO...THEY NEED TO EQUALIZE THOSE VOCALS MORE! Man. It isn't as smooth as should be. The entire track sounds like an audio recording of a freestyle at the radio or something.

Dave Hollister, where you been. I know this dude got vocals. However I gotta agree with MH on the fact that they need to go back and master this bad boy. Also strengthen Dave's hook with another dub of the hook or something. This is playable, but could be much better.
