The first official full-length LP from one of Seattle’s most promising artists, Esai. The Ascension is a meticulously crafted work embodying the essence of hip hop at its core. Adept lyricism spit over gritty beats, addressing a range of topics- from social and cultural issues, to the everyday trials and tribulations of a youth urbanite; this album has plenty to offer for hip hop fans everywhere.
