His discography consists of 21 solo studio albums, eight studio albums as a member of NATAS, three as a member of Soopa Villainz where he is known as "Black Spade", and two as a member of 3 Headed Monster. His solo discography also includes multiple EPs, compilations, mixtapes, singles, and over 50 music videos.
Esham initially recorded and released the self-financed album Boomin' Words from Hell in 1989. After co-founding Reel Life Productions, Esham released three more albums independently: Judgement Day and KKKill the Fetus. His next album, Closed Casket, was distributed by Warlock Records.
In 1997, he began a production agreement with Overcore Records, which co-produced his discography with the re-branded Gothom Records until Overcore went defunct. Esham's Gothom/Overcore releases were distributed internationally by TVT Records. In 2002, Esham signed with Psychopathic Records, where he achieved his highest level of success and released his album with the most consecutive charts, A-1 Yola. He departed from Psychopathic afterwards and continued to release his music on Reel Life Productions.
