Judgement Day (album)
''Judgement Day'' is the second studio album by American rapper Esham, released April 9, 1992. On June 6, 2006, a ''Judgement Day'' box set was issued, containing both original volumes and previously unreleased material. Production Reel Life Productions founder and Esham's brother James Smith decided that Esham should record a double album following the release of Prince (musician), Prince's ''Love Symbol Album''. Smith thought that if an R&B artist could record a double album, a rapper should record a double album. However, it is not the first double album in hip hop, as previously DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince released ''He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper'', which was a double album in its original vinyl configuration. Music While the lyrical content of ''Judgement Day'' is similar to that of Esham's debut, ''Boomin' Words from Hell'', the music features a heavier use of rock music, rock samples.

''Repentance'' is the ninth studio album by Esham. Released in 2003, it is his first album of new material to be released on Psychopathic Records, and his second album on the label overall, after the compilation '' Acid Rain''. Lyrics and music Because much of Smith's most well-known material had contained lyrics that were Satanic in nature, he had long been accused of Satanism and had long attempted to shed such perceptions. ''Repentance'' was produced as an attempt to "set the ..record straight" and leave his former "Unholy" stage persona behind him. The album was originally announced under the title ''Redemption''.

Albums Produced By Esham
An album is a collection of audio recordings issued on compact disc (CD), vinyl, audio tape, or another medium such as digital distribution. Albums of recorded sound were developed in the early 20th century as individual 78 rpm records collected in a bound book resembling a photograph album; this format evolved after 1948 into single vinyl long-playing (LP) records played at rpm. The album was the dominant form of recorded music expression and consumption from the mid-1960s to the early 21st century, a period known as the album era. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though album sales in the 21st-century have mostly focused on CD and MP3 formats. The 8-track tape was the first tape format widely used alongside vinyl from 1965 until being phased out by 1983 and was gradually supplanted by the cassette tape during the 1970s and early 1980s; the popularity of the cassette reached its peak during the late 1980s, sharply declined during the 1990s and had largely disappeared dur ...

Doubelievengod
''Doubelievengod'' is the third album by Natas, released in 1995. Music and lyrics Describing the music and lyrics, Allrovi called ''Doubelievengod'' "a much more mature album in terms of both production and rapping. Most obviously, the platter of samples is gone; for whatever reasons, the emphasis is now on synth-driven beats ..The move toward eerie synth actually works in this album's favor, given its malevolent slant and ominous tone". Reception Allrovi reviewer Jason Birchmeier writes that ''Doubelievengod'' "holds a special place in the Esham legacy alongside the ''Judgement Day'' albums as the summit of not necessarily his talent but rather his wickedness."
