Esham - "Bootleg (From The Lost Vault)- Vol.1"


------------This is the lastest release from the underground legend, Esham. Before this cd came out it was said to be unreleased material but unfornately that’s not true as there are only 4 new songs. But this cd is enhanced and contains footage of Esham and what fan can pass that up?
___This cd really shows how Esham has changed through the years with songs from his first release in 1990, “Booming Words From Hell”, all the way to his lastest material, “Mail Dominance”. And songs range also from the softer “Black Orchid” to the his famous acid rap style with “Midnight Hour”. And the newsongs are also good, with “Suffer The Consequences” being the best of the 4.
___The enhanced portion of the cd is also good, if not short. Its contains pictures, concert footage, an interview, and even a comerical for “WWW.Com”. I know it was worth waiting for this cd just for the enhanced part and its pretty good. Though there is only about 5 minutes of footage all together its still something. The best segment of the bunch is seeing Natas preform in concert.
___You could consider this cd a greatest hits of sort with most of the tracks being taken from prior projects. But for Esham fans who don’t have all his cds then this would be something worth picking up. And for all those fans who have all his cds you might get the been there, done that feeling. But I thought it was worth it with the 4 new songs and enhanced footage. So any Esham fan should go and pick it up.

Rating: 8.8/10
