Great album based on what our daily lives look like with social media dominating out time.
Favorite track: Listen (feat. DJ Rukkus) [prod by Sir Williams].
Prolific 3.0
Es is a quintessential hip-hop voice in the 21st century. A humble man as well. There is a lot of head-nod-ic knowledge to be taken from his recordings. TAKE IT IN AND SUPPORT A REAL MC. #Bless.

1. ...The dilemma of being a husband and artist
2. In this digital age to be honest the hardest part is
3. Trying to find that perfect balance between status and status post
4. Keep my fans engaged while I'm keeping my marriage status so
5. I'm just an average Joe with a passion for rap
6. But a greater passion for her and ain't no challenging that
7. Instant connection when I stare into my wife's eyes
8. Mobile or laptop connecting with my supporters over wifi
9. Sometimes I get the side eye like Christopher Wallace
10. For pouring hours in this craft but the lint in my pockets
11. Is all I got to show for it, the feeling is so horrid
12. Got me questioning myself, should I really be going for it
13. Or forfeit, come up off of it and live to regret it
14. Got my fingertips at work, networking spreading my message
15. Itchin to pop off, got this chip on my shoulder to knock off
16. This hustle is popping my rocks off
1. My timeline's full of tiring and inspiring moments
2. I gravitate to the latter to re-align my focus
3. If you ain't careful it'll tamper with your mental state
4. The opposite of elevate...you'll drown into that hellish place
5. Sink into that sunken place you trying to get out of
6. Metaphorical quicksand trying to climb out cuz
7. I've got a real life that extends beyond these pages I scroll
8. Physical interactions saving my soul
9. I tell my kids to drop the console and play outside
10. Social media ain't no different with a played out grind
11. Take a day off find some inspiration for a refresh
12. Relieve stress and come back stronger than a weed scent
13. The dopamine rush stays controlling our thumbs
14. Stole a piece of our souls so scrolling our feeds we are numb
15. Social engineering we are the ones
16. On your marks, get set feel the blast of social meteor's gun
Verse 1 (Image):
1. I swear... some of y'all lost the race before the starting whistle
2. Shooting yourselves in the leg...like Cheddar Bob with pistols
3. In this competitive space you want a leg up
4. Like Captain Morgan but you got a keg up
5. You struggle to keep ya head up when success' bus passes you by
6. So you approach the situation with an amateur's eye
7. So pathetic, you lash out like 2 two ratchets 'bout to go at it
8. Extending firearm threats like go go gadget
9. ...At the end of the day its all perception
10. Prospective clientele gain perspective
11. On the type of human being you are to deal with, I'm giving you some game
12. Take it or leave it my comrade (but) at the end of the day
13. It's on you...I wish every peer much success
14. But the rest is up to you never settle for less
15. What you putting out there let it represent the best of you
16. Think before you post, never let it be the death of you
Hook (2x):
1. This ain't death by dishonour
2. It's death to your brand and that's due to your persona
3. Assassinate your brand in 140 characters
4. Self sabotage can you really afford the damages?
Verse 2 (spamming links):
1. I believe in the power of the self promotion
2. At the same time I believe that there's a quota
3. When you proceed to exceed the quota you borderline coma...tose
4. Killing your efforts to push your brand cause of the over...dose
5. AM to the PM, from timeline to DM
6. Unsolicited links...I ain't trying to see em
7. Honest truth...build relationships...it ain't really hard to do
8. As an artist or brand it really should be a part of you
9. Pardon the mood, take it as love if i'm talking to you
10. I'm a starving artist too, walking with you
11. The journey is long, the tourney is rough
12. Promotion on a budget is real and earning is tough
13. It's like a filet mignon vs. the can of spam
14. A case of thought out versus never really had a plan
15. Many post mortems are so often ones self inflicted
16. Like gun wounds so uncouthe through instant message
Hook
Verse 3 (Personal problems):
1. ...I get it, we're living in the online era
2. But some things are best kept behind closed doors forever
3. The posts that some of y'all binge I cringe like whoa
4. Basket case or some damaged goods, you get my vote
5. I get it, its a release, you got demons within
6. Your baby's fathers a semen donor on leave to the pen...again
7. Family bash... no balloons, food or music
8. To many of y'all it's therapeutic...no judgement here
9. I'm just saying...you feel no ways putting it out there?
10. Recent music is decent but yo I got scared
11. Too much baggage to link to these positive moves I'm trying to make
12. Built so much over the years that I haven't got the time to waste
13. I keep my dirty laundry in the hamper where it belongs
14. Share minor details on my L's, balance wins with the losses
15. Of course it's the human element
16. The personal touch that keeps the post relevant...just think about it
Hook:
Verse 4 (Bigoted opinions):
1. Haha...you gotta love the hiphop racist
2. Loves the music but never equates it
3. To the struggle of the people for whom it was created
4. Collector of CDs and tapes and thinks he's earned the right to say it...(N!&#ers)
5. The 'N' word has entered this white guy's psyche
6. His favourite rappers are black quite likely
7. Small town kat from where diversity lacks and thats a fact
8. Online the closest that he came to blacks
9. Not hip to the realities at that, it was hard for him to grasp
10. That in some places being black could put a target on their back
11. Just because you rap, don't make you qualified to yap
12. On a twitter thread... spewing all that nonsense as a fact
13. The masses fired back... in a barrage of heated speech
14. Overwhelmed, this coward proceeds to delete the tweet
15. They ate him alive, he had to surrender, bash off the richter
16. Closest thing to a tranny, 'cause he got dragged on twitter
Hook:
Judgements (verse)
Hook:
Look at you before you look at me
I should look at me before I look at you (x8)
1. In this cyber world within a world we each got a story to tell
2. Some stories got too many layers peeling off of that shell
3. But regardless of the topic of discussion
4. We've been brain trained on the basis of the judgements
5. You've heard the saying you only got one chance to make a first impression
6. Without knowing you at a glance thats the first perception
7. Top surface, superficial, perhaps candid
8. Judgement without some sort of merit is backhanded
9. Until... you start revealing the real in you
10. Reeling you into their world that they've concealed from you
11. We're all guilty of bias and pre-conceived opinions
12. We position our thoughts from (the style of) decent people living
13. What's decent to some, not good enough for others
14. Define perfect... many levels above us
15. Yet it's human nature to size up through comparisons
16. Rate each other on a scale of less, equal or better than
17. I see it on my timelines on the daily
18. I've grown numb to the fact, so common place it don't phase me
19. Society judge, I guess that's how we establish playing fields
20. Level or on an incline, the standard we say and feel
21. Appeals to what ideals we live and die by
22. Propaganda smacks you in the mouth over wifi signal
23. The inner eye crippled when the sinners lies hit you
24. Before criticizing flaws be sure the mirrors eyes get you first...
Hook:
1. You better be minding your business
2. What is this, why you be eyeing my digits
3. Counting my dollars before I got them ish in my palm grip
4. Judging me on my spending habits like I'm on strict
5. Punishment or curfew I don't answer to you
6. Funny shit, you ain't my daddy what's the matter with you
7. ...All you know about me's what's on my feed
8. Getting a little too comfortable life coaching my steez
9. So what, I spoiled my youngin with a high priced gift
10. It's the uninvited parenting is why I trip
11. Armchair everythings always chiming in with the 2 cents
12. The minute you overstepped your bounds you became a nuissance
13. Blocked, control-alt-delete you got the boot
14. Stopped the pursuit, I pulled the plug on you like posdnuos
15. Its funny how people judge others without the full context
16. Their own insecurities spill over from the onset
17. Get off my page and go criticize the next person
18. Keep your comments to yourself or keep scrolling
19. Let people be themselves and not the next version
20. Of you or your ideal model trying to be the spokesman
21. Living in a glass house but forever stone throwing
22. Just a matter of time before a window's broken
23. Right the ship in your house before you step in mine
24. Until then...there's the exit sign...
Hook:
1. Seems it's part of our DNA when others go against the grain
2. We lay claim on the proper way, proceed to explain
3. Our point of view to the point its overbearing, kinda scary
4. Even wearing down the spirit of the person hearing it
5. Not prepared for it, the scrutiny could lead to mutiny
6. No grin and bearing it, weighing on the soul like a pair of kicks
7. Before I look at you, first I need to look at me
8. Look within and ask "do you like what you see?"
Es:
1. Since the rise of the internet, everybody's a spokesperson
2. Those who never did or never was be so certain
3. Of how it go from the comfort of their home
4. Calling all the plays from the sidelines like a pro
5. Never gripped a pen or bled a verse from the inside out
6. But so vocal 'bout how to lay vocals, but just to find out
7. They like conductors of the orchestra but never played a key
8. Or plucked a string or wrote a single note so what could you ever say to me
9. Your opinion is welcome, but merits null and void
10. Patronizing to no end, you talk a lot of noise
11. Those who can't do criticize, just stay in your lane
12. I'm stating my claim that I'm staying the same
13. Or changing if and when I feel inspired
14. I chose the independent route for calling all of my shots for when the feel's inspired
15. Sometimes the fans cross the line, it starts to kill the fire
16. Lemme rap the way I rap until my skill expires
17. And when I feel the fire inside of my inner's fading
18. I'd probably on my own accord fall back on innovating
19. But I'ma do it on my terms thank you kindly
20. Opinions are like assholes don't remind me
21. Constructive criticism is cool, not what I'm talking about
22. It's the experts without credentials I'm harping about
23. Social media... breeds the novice and got em feeling qualified
24. And to those not crossing the line...yo I oblige
Hook:
Lee Reed:
Lotta talk no walking, asses parked
And them laptop prophets that got no flock
Or those faux philosophers lost on pop-gossips
Tick box monotony, ad nauseua
Add links to your nonsense, your causes
Bad source and contortion of truth got portioned
Shortened, you’re misinformed,
An outpouring, torrent of ignorances
A foreman of your armchair choruses
Force feed more of dysphoric porridge
Distort the truth that lights the fuses
Fuels the rise of far right movements
You boost stupid, obtuse absolutist
Truth is bruised and the juice gotten rotten
Hyberbolic know-it-all-o’holics
Calling politics, no knowledges
Talk make walkers, poxes passed,
Into anti-vax’ing, earth-flatter than stupid patterns
Of your post truth banter, news
Moves too fast, the truth don’t matter
You misused it, bad proof mad loose
With the bad rebuke and sad solution
Delusion, unproven conclusions
You don’t know what you talk bout dude!
Hook:
Fortunato:
They talking like they know the deal
But they ain't knowing nothing
Just keep it real and keep your two cents
Out of my discussion
I'm tired of ppl repeating scenes from the tv
I seen it too many times
All the lies that been believing
I hope you recieving
My message come to your senses
And start learning life through the lessons
That it's presenting
Yall are second guessing
You never been that attentive
I'm penning this for the people
You selfish and need incentives
Read it on the news that don't mean that it's true
You gotta see it for yourself
It's an immaculate view
Unfettered from the BS
VR you see less
Step in to a world
Where we are
The real threats
Not Muslims or immigrants
That's just ignorance
People need to travel
to see what were really living with
This is not a sitcom or romcom movie
This is real life
Like riding in hoopties
And rolling looseys
I'm Bruce lee in new skis
One of the few that's too free
Believe it if I see it
Keep digging for where the truth be
Most are spoon fed
Misled lifting the ladle
We starting a revolution
You won't see it on cable
The world is unstable
We live with it from the cradle
To the day that we're disabled
Each moment could prove fatal
But really you wouldn't know
You just watching a show
In your armchair reclining
Sitting safe in your home
Hook:

112. Staring in each others eyes, regretful that they're in this place
1. I challenge us to do better
2. ...Get out the mindset of sheepish follower and strive to be the trendsetter
3. Be better than memes that we deem as fact

about
Here we go! Album #4 finally in the books. This album was inspired by this gift and curse that we call social media. It is one of those "look in the mirror" type projects where I could be talking about you...and me. But it's all love though. Self reflection isn't necessarily a bad thing. Social media seems to bring out the best and the worst in people. People use the platforms for different reasons. Whether casual user, fan, artist, consumer or business owner, the way we interact with one another on and off this platform is an interesting phenomenon. I couldn’t help but be inspired by what I see pretty much daily on my feeds on these platforms. It is for this reason I decided to start off this multi-part series with the first installment entitled “Social Meteor Vol 1: Inspired By My Timeline”. Once again, it is a labour of love coming from me to you. Enjoy!
"The Do Better Challenge" is a thought-provoking record by Mississauga based emcee Es that taps into the way social media has affected our social behavior in recent times. Over a solemn but smooth backdrop he details the excesses we are forced to endure on our various timelines from Facebook, Instagram to Twitter. From the numerous memes and clout chasing schemes people employ to gain attention, the trend is quite worrisome Es explains but far from a preachy standpoint... ~ earmilk.com/2019/09/30/es-challenges-us-on-the-do-better-challenge/
