Eshams Dope Ho!! If youre tired of that sissy rap, try the Real

ESHAM has been in constant rotation for me since 1997 . Thank you

Detroit hip-hop pioneer Esham (Rashaam Smith) has some grownup rap for you in his sixteenth LP, $cribble. The acid rap and horrorcore legend makes a musical change for the better and healthier now with motivational wisdom, care, consciousness and straight talk on hard work and positivity but still not without an edge. He’s highly critical of the system and he should be, putting in his sense on the media, schools, rap music today, money and these rocky times for the poor and black what with foul cops and depraved impoverished ghetto-communities (if they can even be called communities in the first place). He doesn’t like what he sees and says so, with real blunt speech, but don’t look for the next best thing in $cribble’s just-to-get-by beats. On the mic end though, Esham is nice, and tight, and just keeps coming and coming in this never-dull twenty-two song set with lines like “it doesn’t matter if you white or black, it’s all about the way you act” and “you sold your soul for the diamonds and gold, but you the one gotta deal with that” from “Sad” and “the system is corrupt and morally bankrupt” from “Abuse of Power.” Esham no doubt has rough vestiges from his horrorcore past but nothing overbearing and always for a useful purpose. $cribble may be hardly a quick classic – God knows it isn’t based on its music production and beats – but it’s a wonderful time of conscientious revelation for Esham, who is intimately in tune with his conscience at this point.

Really nice to see this in the list of pre-orders. Esham has been at it for 30 years and I hope this offers a more modern approach.

Hope the album hype like the single been rocking with E since 93 on the real

That's what I'm all about. Can't wait.

Esham is still banging out hot track after hot track! Don't sleep on this legend! What nibbles your scribble?

Esham is truly original and never fails to introduce us to something new. His $cribble can't be nibbled!

Looking forward to this one!!!
