In recent months, a few up-and-comers have stood out from the pack by introducing themselves with an exclusive world premiere (see Kno-No‘s Ain’t Changed, RaSun‘s Can’t Get You Off My Mind).  The latest Booth newcomer to join this elite category is Harlem’s ESSO, who’s chosen to debut the first track off his forthcoming Lifestyles of the Young & Ignorant EP (which has yet to receive a release date) at this very site.  Meditating on how difficult it is to truly Change Your Life, the emcee spits an abridged autobiography, details the trials and tribulations of a few close friends, and caps the track off with a tribute to hip-hop’s enduring power (which is refreshing, considering how quick some are to pronounce the genre dead).  Complete with a mellow, string-driven instrumental by Frequency this contemplative cut offers no easy answers, but its central message rings true: “Whether you hustle or you nine-to-five juggle, you just better appreciate your life.”

Rating:          bowwserr's Top Rated Songs @DJ Z - Hey, the rating/comment system is acting up today. I can't exactly explain it, but it's definitely being weird. As for this song, I love the production, yet it could have been taken to the next level (although I can't place exactly what could have done that). He's got a nice flow, it's not bad, but it's not the best I've heard, either. BUT!!! I have mad respect for him. If he keeps improving, He has great potential to make quite a few Classics for me. This one is Banger. Welcome to the Booth, fam. Thanks for the track. :)

FredRico Resident DJ Total Ratings: 1102

Rating:          FredRico's Top Rated Songs Wow, I was not expecting him to rap when I saw the pic! Here I am waiting for an R&B joint and I get a smooth, solid rap pearl (lots of potential). Like Styles P said, “rap about a thought that you had on your mind” rather than falling back on overdone topics like “swag” and “the grind”. He just did it! Production is on a Statik Selektah level, meaning GOOD!
