As a member of the Screwed Up Click, E.S.G. has seen his fair share of ups and downs with the growth of their southern swag being tempered by the untimely passing of DJ Screw and E.S.G.’s own incarceration. However, you can’t knock the hustle and so E.S.G. has dropped his latest album, ‘Digital Dope: The Reintroduction.’ Clocking in at about 50 minutes and eleven tracks, this is far from a bloated release as E.S.G. concentrates his down south styles on tracks like the vocoder blessed ‘One Hundred’ and the opening ‘Ballin’ Just A Hobby.’ With production from Unique, Da Beat Kings, Harvey Love, Sean Blaze, D. Smuv, JP, Bam and DJ Bido the beats are kept bumping as E.S.G. brings some Houston flavor. E.S.G. brings plenty of support to back him up lyrically with the likes of Big Cliff, Big Boy S.A., Lil Keke, and C Money joining him, but he still has time to show his own skills, such as on the gangster boogie of ‘Don’t Dance.’ ‘I’m Bad’ sees ILL Tactics step in to assist, as E.S.G. delivers some braggadocios self-aggrandizing before asking, ‘Wutchu On.’ Duane Harris comes through on ‘Paying My Dues’ with a Nate Dogg-type hook and assist as E.S.G. switches his flow up over the mellow skittering beat to tell a tale of his coming up in the music game. Sean Blaze brings cinematic production on ‘Whip It’ as E.S.G. ups his balling status on the track before C Money and Fred T join him to offer their take on fronting with ‘Fake And Real.’ ‘Gettem Hi’ brings a surprisingly upbeat feel amid the veiled threats and tall talk before J Stew, Big T and C Note join E.S.G. for their 6-minute-plus ode to ‘Making Money.’ Finally, the single ‘Actin Bad’ hits hard to round matters off with a style that can generate effect in the clubs, cars or elsewhere. Avoiding overtly club-aimed cuts E.S.G. still has the bump to make you dance while offering a vintage Southern Gangsta swagger, ensuring his ‘Digital Dope’ can get play when the club lights go off. E.S.G.’s vintage southern style recalls the work of legends like Eightball and MJG while still bringing his own to the table.
