TICKETS FOR ALBUM LAUNCH EVENT (23 April at Jazz Cafe, Camden Town): essamusic.bandcamp.com/merch

OFFICIAL VIDEO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-lxOR_jvMY&feature=youtu.be

OK, my new album is called Misadventures of a Middle Man (released May 2014 on First Word Records). The first single is called The World Belongs To You (released 24 March on First Word Records, produced by Ta-Ku, Australian beat supremo and rising star). This track right here is the b-side to that single - an exclusive bonus track that is not available on the album. It's entitled Call Me Essa (also produced by Ta-Ku).

Shout out to legendary London hip-hop DJ 279 who gave me the idea for this track. When I changed my name from Yungun to Essa he said he thought people would be confused and that the best way to explain it would be in a verse. Thanks numbers, good idea! Hopefully this clears things up for anyone who was confused ...

UK heads - I'll be performing this track (and the tracks from the Misadventures of a Middle Man) live at the Jazz Café on Wednesday 23 April 2014. Hope to see you there!
