The Official Website of Harlem NYC’s own ESSO

Why Despicable E?

I aint gonna lie, I check comments on blogs sometimes, and more often than not, I feel like the motives behind certain things that I may do get misunderstood. I even saw something said about this track that said that this isnt a race to be the first person to record over this track…

Nah you’re right, it’s not about that at all, but I’ve had a lot of things goin on around me recently that have kinda made me feel like I’m the bad guy no matter how good my intentions may be. So when I heard the track that Pharrell did for the soundtrack to the movie, it kinda perfectly matched how I was feeling at the time.

From the impending controversy with my Off The Wall project to the fact that I’m not trying to follow the mold of a “traditional” New York artist, to the fact that tryin to be successful takes me away from my family all the time…all of these things were on my mind, and I tried to put that all together in a way that was pretty easily digestible but still has some gems in there for those of you who like your verses to have some shit tucked away like easter eggs.

Do I apologize for it? NOPE. Do I give a fuck if it’s misunderstood? NOPE. Despicable Me. Fuck it.
