Es, Das Da Beat Junkie - Driver Or Driven

Veteran Mississauga, Ont emcee, Es joined forces with past collaborator and boom bap beatsmith, Das Da Beat Junkie of Toronto, Ont on their latest project entitled “Driver Or Driven”. Having collaborated a few times over the past 6 years, the decision to collaborate on a full length project was long overdue. Beats exclusively by Das Da Beat Junkie, Es continued his legacy of thought provoking lyrics over neck snapping beats.

About Driver Or Driven:

Driver Or Driven was conceptualized at a time when Es had a moment to reflect on where he was at with his art. As an independent artist, the journey is filled with peaks and valleys. Obstacles are par for the course. Ongoing battles with self-doubt are a real thing. Remaining focused on the mission at hand amid the distractions is also a challenge we face as artists. Grabbing the bull by the horns and making things happen despite the obstacles in front of us is an important theme touched on. Es decided to internalize some of these relatable themes on this project.

Driver Or Driven asks a few questions. Are you the type to take control of your destiny (driver) and be accountable for your actions or are you the type to sit back and wait for a handout (passenger seat rider)? These are some of the thoughts and takeaways following a listen to this project. This project is dedicated to the grinders and go-getters.
