Es Pays Homage to Tribe in New Video

Oh, Canada! The land of maple syrup, hockey, and… hip-hop? You bet. Es, a wordsmith from the Great White North, has just dropped a fresh video for “Tribute To Tribe.” It’s a nod to the iconic A Tribe Called Quest, and let me tell you, it’s as smooth as butter on a hot piece of toast. MC Till’s on the beat, mixing jazz and soul with that old-school boom-bap vibe. It’s like a time machine to the ’90s, but with Es’ own twist.

Now, Es isn’t just rapping; he’s pouring out respect with every line. Take this gem for example: “Luck of Lucien kept the headphones to my ears for ransom.” It’s like he’s been held captive by the beats, and honestly, who can blame him? The lyrics are a love letter to ATCQ’s legacy, and it’s clear Es holds them in high regard. He even calls them “legendary,” and ain’t that the truth?

The video? It’s a collage of Es’ own performance spliced with ATCQ’s timeless moments. It’s a visual mixtape that’ll have hip-hop heads nodding in appreciation. And when Busta Rhymes’ voice scratches into the hook? Chef’s kiss. It’s a full-circle moment, taking us back to Es’ youth, where jazz and soul were the soundtrack of his life.

If you’re itching to stream “Tribute To Tribe,” you’ve got options. Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram โ€“ take your pick. But, you know, there’s something about that YouTube link that just calls out to you, right? Here it is, just begging to be clicked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG3vP6JOKx0. Go on, give it a watch. It’s a tribute that’s as timeless as the group it honors.
