Following the smashing indie success of CZARFACE with Inspectah Deck and DJ 7L, Esoteric is on the horizons of Machete Music, a solo LP produced entirely by another New England-based Hip-Hop artist, Stu Bangas. Stu’s produced joints for Sean Price, Blaq Poet, Vinnie Paz and plenty more.

For the video to “Ease Up,” Eso invites some A.O.T.P. cohorts to Quakertown, near the PA/NJ border. Reef The Lost Cauze, Planetary, and Blacastan have a 2-on-2 battle, filmed before a live audience. Celph Titled plays host.

Although not household names per se, this crew is deep, and highly successful in indie sales. It’s great to see vets upholding tradition, and having fun at the same time in this Man Bites Dog Records concept video.
