Finally, here is EPonym & Esta‘s album, UpFromHere. They are new editions to the Cosmic Souls Collective and have been working really hard to make this album happen. I’ve been working with this emcee-producer duo for almost a year now and it is crazy watching them grow as artists. If you want more reasons to peep this album check out the previously postedinterview and Esta beat making video. Stream their favorite song from the album below and hit more for the track listing.

I interview rapper EPonym and producer Esta as they release a new video showing their process in creating a song. They are working on their album called UpFromHere which drops sometime in september, EP says.
Nef: Esta, what was your inspiration for making this beat?
Esta: Right when i heard the record i knew what i wanted to do, it was one of those samples. EP and I both felt like it should be an underdog track.
Nef: Word, I know the feeling. EP what inspired you to write your lyrics to it?
EPonym: Basically the beat felt victorious and shit. And I was getting a vibe like “Hey we’re comin up in the world” so that basically was the outline. Like, despite what people say or have said we’ll still be elevatin’ the album title actually stems from one of the tracks on the album, and we couldnt really think of anything better suiting than that.
