Esohel - Pushin'
Artist: Esohel
Producer: Blended Babies
Album: Up Early: The Slept On
Label: U Dot Fam
To succeed in the music game, one needs either tremendous good fortune or some hella fide skills; since underground emcee Esohel‘s a little short on the former (Es-oh-el, get it?), it’s a good thing he’s got plenty of the latter, and, as he explains on his Booth debut and latest single, a superhuman work ethic to boot. Confident that he’s just the breath of fresh air the ailing (in his opinion) hip-hop game needs, Esohel’s not going to stop Pushin’ till the stars fall out of the sky—or, as the rapper threatens on the track, he shoots them down. Over one of the catchiest Chipmunk-soul beats I’ve heard in quite a while (courtesy of Blended Babies and sampled from—anyone know?), the emcee delivers a double-helping of wordplay-packed underground braggadocio in an unpredictable flow sure to grab—and keep—lyrical heads’ attention. Fans can hear more from this relentlessly-grinding up-and-comer on his new, DJ Poor-mixed street album, Up Early: The Slept On, available now online.

Since this joint includes "...one of the catchiest Chipmunk-soul beats I’ve heard in quite a while," its an immediate 3-bagger. But add the passion in Esohel's vocals (delivery needs a little work to be more refined) and this gets the extra nod.
A real nice Booth intro for one of my Chicago neighbors.

As soon as the beat comes in I was feelin the joint, and that chipmunk style sample is real hot. The piano kills as well. I need a lil more to be convinced of this dude, but his flow was pretty solid.

Ain't feelin the verses that much but Blended Babies bring heat on the production tip. Sounds like he is out-rapping the beat, his choppy delivery on verses was not pleasing even its for short duration ... On my second listen and I agree with @DJ Z - he needs to work on his delivery and tryna make it a smoother, more accessible flow. Overall, I like the production more than the lyrics ... 2.5

Woah his flow is DIRTY at some parts, I can definatly respect how he can swap it up mid verse. The production and lyricism are definitely on point. Not a classic, but its not a 4/5 for me either, so i'm rounding up
