After weeks of anticipation, Esso has finally dropped his long awaited cover of M.J.'s classic Off The Wall album on the 30th anniversary of the records original release. This is the second major project that Esso has dropped this year after releasing The Lifestyles of The Young & Ignorant EP to critical acclaim back in May. Attempting to emmulate the legendary chemistry between Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones; the Off The Wall project is a collaborative effort between Esso, and Woody who is the sole producer on the album. Off The Wall marks a musical transition for Esso and is the precursor to Evolved; Esso's official debut album produced by Rena1ssance due sometime next year. Call me biased, but after a few listens of OTW all I have to say is... Drake who???
