ESSO – Tapewreck [MP3] w/Lyrics


ESSO – Tapewreck [MP3] via DJBooth.net | MediaFire

We all hit walls, get frustrated and question ourselves. Anyone that says that they doesn’t is lying to you. I wrote this song when I was going through one of those periods. Reality provides us with the greatest subject matter. This song is kind of my own commentary on myself in a way, I’m talking to myself more than I’m really talking to anyone else. Cheers to thinking out loud…

ESSO – Fuck It All (produced by Mike Mef) [Trailer]

I met Mike Mef as a result of his “The Rhythm of My Life” documentary that was in the UrbanWorld Film Festival a couple of weeks back. A producer from half a world away (Gabon, Central Africa), in New York with a hunger and drive to make great music. We went into the studio last week and recorded “Fuck It All” one of the most honest songs that I’ve ever written. No bullshit, no smoke and mirrors, nothing but exactly how I feel and was feeling at the moment when I wrote it. Full CDQ & Video to follow shortly.

Almost a year ago, I released the first offering of my “The Playlist” compilation series. Volume One was an awesome success with 22 original tracks from today’s upcoming artists! Since then I’ve been on the grind and the demand for Volume 2 had arisen! I’ve been putting together this tape for about 2 months while planning my events, running the site, and still conducting exclusive interviews, etc, & let me tell you, dealing with 25 artists is NOT EASY! haha. I’m dropping Vol. 2 off today as a gift to you all for the new year and as a taste of all the exclusives you’ll be receiving from AshleyOutrageous.com! I’d also like give a BIG thank you to all who support me, as well as my team over here, Nadeje, Courtney, & Nathalie. Now, enough of the mushy stuff (haha) and lets get this project into your Playlist! Features include Freddie Gibbs, Big K.R.I.T., Neako, Laws, ESSO, El Prez & The TreeHouseClub, Phil Ade, Casey Veggies, Sin, Ghostwridah, Killa Kyleon, Gilbere Forte, & the list goes on! – Ashley

ESSO – Passport Stamps (Prod. by Woody)

I’m not gonna lie to you, I want to see the World before I die. I want to see as much of it as I possibly can, and that’s what inspired this song. I want to know what it feels like to stand in every single place that I mention and see what the view looks like. I’d imagine that some of you feel exactly the same way. Think of it as Around the World in 3 verses…

ESSO & Woody Announce “Californication” EP & “Someday” ft. El Prez [CDQ MP3]

ESSO – Someday feat. El Prez (Produced by Woody)
LINKS:
Since first collaborating in mid-2009 on the now infamous Off The Wall, ESSO & Woody have created some of each of their best work with each other. In the year since, ESSO & Woody have continued to work together. Most recently, Woody contributed production on “I’m the Shit,” “Alone,” “Breakdown” and more to ESSO’s 2010 release The Anti-Socialite as well as songs on ESSO’s Ascension slated for a 2011 release. Woody has been busy himself, contributing production to XV’s Vizzy Zone Mixtape, as well as recently releasing his debut solo album LoveLife.
In the last year ESSO & Woody have recorded numerous songs together, all of which have not been released on their respective projects. While working on Ascension in Los Angeles in September, the two decided to release another collaborative project following in the footsteps of Off The Wall. The EP, titled Californication is a collection of songs that ESSO & Woody recorded while working on The Anti-Socialite in 2009 and Ascension in 2010.
ESSO is most well known for his Off The Wall remix album released in August of 2009. He was featured in XXL Magazine‘s “Show & Prove” section in August 2010, and named one of Beyond Race Magazine‘s “50 Artists to watch in 2010.” Two of his videos “Don’t Stop” (Off The Wall) and “New York, New York” (The Anti-Socialite) have made it into rotation on MTVJams, and BET’s “The Deal” tapped him to participate in a conversation about the future of New York Hip-Hop. He is currently preparing his EP Californication for a November release, and his album Ascension for an early 2011 release.
