DJ Esco just got a second chance at life, and what does he do? He makes a mixtape and names it after himself.

Apparently, Esco didn’t read the important travel info his agent gave him before embarking on a flight to Dubai. You see, he was pulled aside by airport security guards who found “fairy dust particle”, aka weed. Just his luck that it was found on his person upon landing in Dubai, I guess. Not exactly a weed friendly place. Instead of taking in the sights and sounds of that state’s marvels, Esco found himself staring at the walls of a jail cell – for 56 days.

Well, like so many events in life, Esco decided that the smart choice was to make the best of this situation. He says, “I came back with a plan to be the greatest I can be, at all costs. I’m a really talented person, and when I got out, I wanted people to feel how gifted I am.” Clearly, humility isn’t one of his talents.

Have a listen to “Free At Last”.
