Over a heavy, yet melodic, instrumental, EsoExperience’s Asante Farid tells us that he’s got to obtain their goals by any means. “Make No Mistake” is anthemic in its approach to the “I’m gonna make it” trope. However, the energy we’re given on this track, it pushes it over the boundaries of being another “I’m surpassing my struggle” song.

We’re given a testimony of sorts as to why the artist will falter in the long run, with Farid spitting his heart out on this one, snarling through the muck of the world, and saying “I can’t slip because I’ve got too much to lose.” Overall, it’s a track that they needed to close the year out with. Considering some of the turbulence Farid–and others–faced in 2019, this is a triumphant call to say “2020 is my year.” Check it out below and remember to support dope music in all its forms.
