Esham

A Detroit emcee credited with launching the movement known as "overcore," "acid-rap," "horrorcore," or simply "wicket sh*t," Esham has been putting out over-the-top extreme-rap for over ten years. In addition to running his own label, he's also a member of Natas, with Mastamind and T-N-T. Esham's graphic style and blood-drenched rhymes have influenced everyone from Eminem to Necro to ICP, and his vast body of work contains over 25 albums.
