Esham Facts

  1. Growing up, he used to live with his mother in the Seven Mile neighborhood on the East side of Detroit, Michigan.
  2. Esham lived with his grandmother in New York during the summers.
  3. During his younger years, he listened to artists like Sugar Hill Gang, Run-DMC, Ozzy Osbourne, and Kiss.
  4. It was his older brother who encouraged him to seriously pursue a career in hip hop. Talking about his brother, Esham has said, “He felt like I had a dope flow, and he thought I could bring something new to the game, just coming from the city of Detroit. Back then, it wasn’t really a [rap] music scene in Detroit. Everybody was just imitating what everybody else was doing.”
  5. Esham met rapper Champtown, also an aspiring rapper at the time, in the 2nd grade. They performed together at open mic events and were once forced to rap for a drug dealer at gunpoint.
  6. In 1989, Esham released his debut album Boomin’ Words from Hell at the age of 16. Rap Reviews reviewer John-Michael Bond wrote that “the fully realized darkness that surrounds both soundtrack and verses on Boomin Words… stands as a stark reminder that just because someone’s a kid doesn’t mean he can’t have anything to say.”
  7. Alongside his brother James H. Smith, he co-founded the independent record label Reel Life Productions in 1990.
  8. On June 19, 2001, he released his 8th studio album Tongues and it includes songs like Walkin on da Flatline, I’m Dead, Poetry, Chemical Imbalance, Everyone, God, So Selfish, and Crash & Burn. The album peaked at #7 on the US Independent Albums (Billboard) chart, at #14 on the US Heatseekers Albums (Billboard) chart, and at #46 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums (Billboard) chart.
  9. Esham has served as an influencer for artists like Eminem and Insane Clown Posse.
