    I hate how much they interrupt a story that’s really good. Like sometimes u gotta be patient and let him just rock for at least a few minutes at a time. The story is too good to constantly cut him off.

Lol a good story tainted with unnecessary banter and interruptions. Hopefully Esco can retell this story at a more appropriate platform.

    I am so proud to be able to "claim" DJ Esco...the way he handled such a trying, scary situation is completely top notch character. His open mindedness, humility, genuine interest/curiosity, etc will really go a long ways to make America at least look good to other countries and their people. His desire to understand the people and learn about their culture and religion is refreshing, especially when his current situation would drive a lot of people inwards to isolate and become even more self-centered than we Americans already are. Esco, you give me hope for the future , it's an honor to occupy the same world with you. Blessings. 🙏🏾

Aww I feel bad for him , I thought he was going to cry . I love him alot , he's so humble , very outgoing , and honest . I have so much respect for him , I hope to meet him someday. I found out about him right after Kno The Meaning was released , been a fan ever since.
