I’ve been communicating with Jacob Es and his team for about 6 months or so. Some of you may be familiar with the Burlington-based act, but most of you probably haven’t heard of him. YET. Point is, Jacob’s been developing his sound and honing his skills over the past couple of months and I’m proud to bring you, what I believe to be, Jacob’s greatest accomplishment yet. It’s a struggle to find one’s place in the music world but Jacob’s most recent track, produced by fellow Burlingtonian DJ Whole-Z, does exactly that. JacobEs states his claim in the music world with a track that’s marked by it’s political message and catchy but ominous chorus. If you don’t know, now you know. Jacob Es.

Here’s a track from up and coming Boston artist Jacob ES. The instrumental behind this is from a song called “Hawaii,” by alternative band Blackbird Blackbird. - The Hip Hop Update
"Two very different songs, by one unique artist. Jacob Es shows off his versatility on both of these tracks, with great writing, and SMOOTH flow. I know, I say that a lot, but in this you can truly hear how smooth he is. Like he was born to rap, Jacob Es was born to be on Before the Bigs." - BeforeBigs.com
"When you look at all that up-and-coming hip-hop/rap artist Jake Helman has accomplished, it is hard to believe that he has only been singing for a year and a half." - The Cynic
"Pumped Up Kicks is a bulletproof starting block especially for an artist like Jacob Es who spits quick MGK-like flows. This will undoubtedly be on deck throughout the Spring." - FreshNewTracks.com

Bio
Jacob Es is a rapper from the Boston area currently attending school at University of Vermont in Burlington, VT. Jacob began recording music last year after his third elbow operation left him with no feeling in his right hand, and unable to continue pursuing his dream of playing baseball at the collegiate level. He left Memphis, TN and headed up north to Burlington with the goal of pursuing music having never been in a studio before, and has since amassed nearly 100,000 youtube views on his channel and opened for artists such as Mac Miller, Moufy, Jay Sean, and AER. Jacob is currently working on his first fully original project collaborating with local artists which should be released during the summer. Jacob balances being a full time student with pursuing music well averaging a 3.2 GPA as an English major, and spreads messages of positivity in his music.
