Eso.XO.Supreme has been one of my favorite indie artists for a while. His Weeknd-like vocals, when paired with his diverse songwriting, makes for a combination that allows for some good music.

Shoutout to Sto the Last Lyricist (a/k/a Big Sto) for putting this one on my timeline. A.C. The Entity has a sort of De La vibe to him, mixed with some Midwest boombap sensibilities and a bit of Del the Funky Homosapien energy as well. His latest project, Power of the Mind, is my first […]
