Journey down the rabbit hole...

Closed Casket

1994

Esham felt the lyrical content of his previous albums were being taken too seriously following accusations of practicing Satanism, Esham decided that after producing Closed Casket he would no longer rap about the Devil.

KKKill The Fetus

Hellterskkkelter EP

1993

Judgement Day Vol. 2 (Night)

1992

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince’s 1988 release 'He’s the DJ, I’m the Rapper' predates Esham's Judgement Day. However, it was only pressed on two vinyl records due to length and was edited to fit on one CD.

​

Judgement Day was purposely recorded as two distinct, original albums.

Judgement Day Vol. 1 (Day)

1992

Judgement Day Vol. 1-2 is a double album that was released in 1992. 

​

While 2Pac’s 'All Eyez On Me' is often regarded as the first double rap album, Esham accomplished it four years earlier.

Homey Don't Play!

1991

Released in 1991 the debut of Homey the Clown depicted Esham wearing clown paint inspiring the use of face paint in other popular acts.

Erotic Poetry EP

Boomin Words From Hell

1980
