The American rapper known as "ESKO" hails from Trenton, NJ. Clearly a talented wordsmith, he began his musical career after meeting Clarence "C Money" Walton a neighbor who took him to his first ever recording studio and later would become his manager. After moving to Connecticut with his father for high school, he began entering local talent shows. While continuing to hone his craft, he was picked up by a local group called the roughnecks and would go on to strike his first regional tour.

 In the 90's he then moved to Tampa, FL with his mother but never gave up on his true passion for music. Wanting to record his first solo project with no money to do so, he began hanging out in Robles Park housing projects(Wild Side) and starting hustling drugs to come up with the necessary cash needed to get his project off the ground and get it off is what he did. Esko with the help of his long time friend/Manager C Money, he released his first nationally distributed full album independently under the moniker "Y. Gates". The project suddenly came to a screeching halt when he ran into some legal problems that would cause him to lose his freedom for several years.

 During that time, he lost his mother. Upon his release, he made a promise to himself that he would one day top the charts. Esko then began working on a new album on shoe string budget, which led to his first single "Told Ya" and with luck on his side, he ran into Snapp Ford the CEO of 4 Ever Ballin Records (an Independent label based out of Tampa, Florida) a long time friend who also had a passion for the music business and the rest was history!

 Together they shared the same vision and were able to hash out a deal to release the first single "Told Ya" off the upcoming "No Plan B" album. When asked how he feels about getting in such of a competitive business, he replies "You can't stop what's destined to happen". So for the summer of 2018, be ready for Esko and his 4 Ever Ballin Crew!!!!
