Brixton-based rapper ESS_WEST makes hyper emotional gangsta rap featuring jamming beats, smooth instrumentals and thoughtful lyrical writing. The South Londoner has hit the ground running with his releases resonating with listeners and winning fans over with hook-focused composition and rhythmically perfect vocal delivery.
Not just making waves as a solo artist, he forms one half of Poorhouse Studios – alongside Els – which writes and produces for an array of artists in a range of genres from R&B with Catching Cairo, all the way to UK drill and rap, such as artist Youngs Teflon.
Now he brings us his latest release with the single “5 Each”, paired with a cunningly shot music video filmed on location in South London. Where some rap artists fail to weave emotion and depth into their music which often results in a superficial sound, ESS_WEST offers relatable writing with substance and thrives.
On “5 Each” he shows his performance skills with a laid back flow floating exquisitely over a grooving backdrop of lofi instrumentation.
