We haven't heard from Essay Potna for a long minute, the last track we heard being his collaboration with Kirko Bangz and Denovo from last September. Don't call it a hiatus, as the Texas emcee has been hard at work on his Emotional Rollercoaster X30 mixtape, from which he's shared the first single today.
"Dedicated" is a strong return, with Essay getting things started with a huge hook over a timeless sample-based instrumental that bangs as hard as anything coming out of Atlanta these days. Meanwhile his verses feature a classic Texan swagger, sporting the everyman relatability of a young Z-Ro. Look out for the tape very soon.
Quotable Lyrics:
10 yards, another 10 yards
Please forgive me for my sins, God
Please forgive me for my sins, God
But I'm killing these rappers again, lord
