E.S.G., which stands for "Everyday Street Gangsta," is a prominent figure in the Southern hip-hop scene, particularly known for representing Houston, Texas. Born Cedric Hill, E.S.G. burst onto the rap scene in the mid-1990s with a sound that embodied the essence of Houston's burgeoning hip-hop culture, featuring laid-back yet gritty narratives about street life over smooth, bass-heavy beats. His distinct style contributed to the popularization of the "chopped and screwed" technique, a form of remixing developed by the legendary DJ Screw, who was a close collaborator.

With albums and tracks like "Ocean of Funk" and "Swangin' and Bangin'," E.S.G. captured the attention of the hip-hop community and became one of the key figures in elevating the Houston rap scene to national recognition. Over the years, he has been prolific in his output, remaining consistent in delivering music that pays homage to the Southside's unique sound and culture. His more recent releases, such as "Southside Still Holdin The Red Album" and "Woke up in H-Town," continue to serve his fan base with the authentic street tales and the signature chopped and slowed production style that originally cemented his status as a Southern rap icon. Whether collaborating with fellow Houston artists or flying solo, E.S.G.'s influence on the Southern hip-hop legacy is undisputed.
