As we reported a few weeks back, Esham landed a limited edition cover story with Underground Nation Magazine and we finally got our hands on it! Inside the article UGN asked Esham on when fans can expect the next solo LP and Esham replied with a lengthy detailed response that he is actually finished with working on three different records and ended the response with, “Nah, they ain’t ready for it!”
From the “Grim Reaper Atomic Fireball” Edition behind the latest Underground Nation Magazine:
UGN: When can fans expect the next solo LP from Esham?
Esham: I mean, I got like three albums done. Like right now!
UGN: HOLY CRAP, WOW!
Esham: I got some crazy material man, that’s all I do is record! You know think Prince had a vault. But actually I have so much material that it’s like, I don’t even think are people ready for me to put out an album, because I don’t think people are into taking in music the same way 20 years ago. Yeah, putting albums might have been the thing, but now people are just digesting music in such a different way, I don’t know if they even ready for an album, from me. Like there’s gotta be a real reason for me to put out an album out. But maybe it might just be time! I ain’t even heard of anyone new fresh enough for me to put an album out! Like all this shit that’s been coming out has been just kind of a reboot to something else. Its almost like the reboots of Halloween. Who wants to see another Halloween reboot. Know what I’m saying?! Like they can’t think up some new shit! I’m not waiting but I’m just like, to me when people say, “E, we need you to put an album out!” I feel that in my heart and then I’ll put it out. But I already got albums made right now. They ain’t ready. They don’t appreciate albums like that, to me. So I don’t feel like that people are appreciative enough for me to put an album out. But I got an album! Yep! I keep wanting to, but nah, they ain’t ready for it!

Its good to see Esham is still active. It would be nice to see a multiple album drop kinda like when Bizzar/Bizaar and Freek Show all dropped at once.

That’s fresh as hell. I’m sure the obvious albums would be a solo, Soopa Villainz and NATAS. But what if NATAS isn’t the 3rd album, and it’s a new album from The Killjoy Club, or the debut album from The Loony Goons (or whatever J said that new super group was/is called from the GOTJ last year or a few years ago), or something totally new and different? Idk, but I’m intrigued.

If it’s a bunch of Scribble shit I’m good on that. If it’s much much better dope shit that he’s holding because he doesn’t think people will actually pay for and will instead download? I understand that.

He said that he doesn’t think people are taking music the way that they used to. I don’t know if that means some wicked ass content or that music is just downloaded and art is taken for granted. Either way, Esham is a dude that never stops, and his style progresses with time. I’m eager to hear what he has to present.

Looked at that picture of Esham with his head on fire and for a moment… I thought that was Richard Pryor.
