Sincerely, Esco - Jonte’s Inferno (Video)
Since we're inching closer & closer to the one year anniversary of his "Hell on Earth" album, which, if you aren't familiar with it, let alone him, I highly suggest you do something about that quick. His lyricism is some of the sharpest you'll hear & also, he holds no punches on that particular album, calling out all the injustices & hypocrisies that plague this once beautiful land we still try to tread lightly on. Since this album's anniversary is coming up, Esco felt it was necessary to drop the visuals to one of the more fiery tracks on the record, "Jonte's Inferno."
A beautiful play with the idea of Dante's inferno, which is basically a journey through hell. He's here to sincerely take you through his own journey, detailing in his own words "the many stages of the mental hell that is the mind under stress, the battle with the mind, body & spirit can be irritant." True that Esco, but we thank you for choosing to share your struggles with us & be a guiding hand, a leading light for those who can't seem to find one to grasp onto.
These visuals only make the message all the more powerful, starting with his own demons beating him to the ground but never senseless. He gets back up to fight what, to some, even him at some point, felt was a losing battle cause it's one thing to be trapped inside your mind, but to be trapped into these systems & environments, some just don't stand a fighting chance with those struggles, but Esco isn't going to give up so easily. He's going to continue walking through the fire, accepting all smoke that may come his way cause at the end of the day, these demons will be the ones eating the dirt, but it can be tricky.
