Video: Eshon Burgundy, "A Note for the Hopeless"

Philly may have (sadly) lost the World Series recently, but man we been winnin' lately with the CHH music! If you haven't already, drop everything and cop R-Swift's "Anthem." Fantastic album. Read my five-star review of it here.

Here, we have Eshon Burgundy, dropping 100 bars on "A Note for the Hopeless."



I've been behind on my Internet travails (You may have noticed me M.I.A. from this blog and my Twitter account lately...Tryna get back on it now...), but props to my fellow DaSouth.com writer Kellus Hill for putting me on to brother Burgundy a few weeks back. He goes Sugar Ray Leonard on this one. Don't be surprised by the lightness of his delivery (a whispery flow completely devoid of menacing attitude) and his relaxed composure; he verbally sticks, moves and delivers a TKO on the soul sample. My fave line: "Lucifer? I don't know you... Huh? Oh yeah, I'm acting brand new."

I hear he's working on a new release. I'll be lining up for it, like going to Pat's or Geno's for cheesesteaks.

For more info on the man, check out his Myspace, here. There's a treasure trove of music to be found here--three mixtapes! (Note: copy and paste the links into your browser to get at the free downloads.)
