His latest set, &#8216;Old Soul&#8217;, includes guest spots and production from some of the most interesting voicres in contemporary hip hop, including Nate Fox, known for his work with Chance The Rapper and the Social Experiment, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/misslgulley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">L Gulley<\/a>, and Blu, the author of many classic verses. &#8216;Da Bounce&#8217; was produced by LA musician L05, from the futuristic Celsius Electronics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">L05 has pulled back on the production of &#8216;Da Bounce&#8217;, letting Isaac have plenty of room to get confessional. There&#8217;s the catchiest of catchy rap choruses as well, and the track makes good on al the promise Castor has shown on his mixtapes and independent releases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The artist has been rapping since the age of 9, and as an acknowledgement of the kid he used to be, the video shows Castor paired with a cocky younger version of himself, dancing in the boxing ring, symbolic of the struggle to be heard, that he knows all too well. It&#8217;s not an overly serious clip however, instead it&#8217;s fun, entertaining, and encouraging &#8211; something we need in this day and age.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find out more about Isaac Castor online on his <a href=\"http:\/\/isaaccastor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_21590\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7CjpSoOCmVI?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"YouTube player\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/7CjpSoOCmVI\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isaac Castor is a talented rapper whose candour is both refreshing and unexpected.
