For over ten years, Esham has been synonymous with underground hardcore rap in Detroit, influencing an entire school of rappers that came to be known as "horrorcore". The most significant of these groups, Insane Clown Posse, founded Psychopathic Records ten years ago, a label dedicated to putting out the most hardcore rap in the business. Now, the two powerhouses of the underground have joined forces to present "Acid Rain", a greatest hits collection from the man who started it all. With beats hard enough to raise the dead and lyrics straight from the underworld, this album is sure to be judged as the greatest collection of hits ever from this master of horror. "Acid Rain" will also feature four new tracks produced specifically for this album, including cuts with label-mates Insane Clown Posse and Twiztid. After 12 years of innovating his own style, Esham has found a renewed direction and fire for his career in the rap industry, determined to present a gruesome depiction of today's wretched human spirit through the use of his trademark wicked imagery, all the while offering his insight on man's need for personal introspection and pinpointing the cause of one's lack of civility. A new era of lyrical brutality has awoken at Psychopathic Records with the arrival of Esham, and the underground will never be the same.
