To be honest with you, I'm not surprised you haven't heard of Esham, but that's not because he isn't good
he's dam good! Esham is I.C.P's biggest influence, but he doesn't sound like I.C.P or vice versa! You may remember a line from Eminems first full length album "I'm like Manson, Ozzy, and Esham", well, this is who Slim Shady is referring to! Esham is the first true Horror rapper and his first album "Homie Don't Play" came out when Esham was 15 or 16, and he's now 28(same age as me) but he has like 10 or 11 albums out. Esham is also a member of NATAS(maybe you have heard of them) which is a three piece rap act comprised of T.N.T, Esham, and MastaMind.
Taken from RollingStone.com
"Esham, born Esham A. Smith, is a Detroit rapper notorious for his hardcore "Acid raps." Since his 1990 debut, Homey Don't Play, he has pioneered the field of "horrorcore" and released 10 more albums, including his latest, 1997's Bruce Wayne: Gotham City 1987. As frontman for the group Natas, Esham runs his own Reel Life Productions label and distribution company."
Check him out Dutchy, Esham is one of my favorites! He really bumps the shit, both musically and especially lyrically!
Cheerz!
