Inhale..

"Esohel is currently midway through his project "The Crib" and with the anticipation of its completion, eS is planning on releasing a mixtape to hold the listeners up until its release this fall. The as of yet untitled mixtape will consist of all new original material along with an occasional industry beat jack. Here Esohel brings "Inhale", spitting over some Marco Polo production to set the tone for what to expect."

Chosen..

The St. Louis homies Souls of Liberty came through with this earlier & I'm kinda late posting. You know how that goes. For this joint, they sample Kanye's "Power" and flip it nicely. Look for the track to be featured on their new tape "Carpe Diem", which drops tomorrow.
