That same year he teamed up with Detroit natives TnT and Mastamind and formed the group Natas, whose controversial debut Life After Death has been blamed for the suicide of a Tennessee youth. After another EP released in 1992 entitled Hellter Skkkelter dropped, Esham's most recognized and most controversial album 1993's KKKill the Fetus hit stores. The cover of this album depicted an unborn fetus and the title track was a song explaining why unfit, drug addicted mothers should chose abortion over birth. Esham followed up with Natas' Blaz4me and another solo Closed Casket. This was all a prelude to another controversial release, Doubelievengod. Tracks such as "Pop Pop", "Sunday School", and "Heaven" set an unprecedented mark for evilness in rap music. Esham later released his final album on RLP, Dead Flowerz. This was a transitional period into Esham's new Gothom label. Bruce Wayne/Gothom City introduced the world to the new age Esham. After this release the head nodding, trunk rattling Multikillionaire was released.
After a 2-year break, E hit the scene with the colorful Mail Dominance CD. This CD had everything from slow jams, retrospectives on lost ones, wickedness, to 50's samples. The next release is what many feel was the critically acclaimed WWW.com. In 2001, Esham released what would become his smoothest album, Tongues. Followed by Natas 6th release Godlike. Esham resume of albums includes 10 full albums, 4 EPs, 3 greatest hits compilations, and 6 releases with Natas. Not to mention working with and producing for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Ghetto E, Kool Keith, Insane Clown Posse, and the Dayton Family.

Eminem has listed Esham as an influence, as he mentions on his debut album, The Slim Shady LP. Esham's next album, A1 Yola, was released April 19th, 2005 by Psychopathic Records. Included with the album was also a DVD with videos to every song, making Esham the first artist to make a music video for every song on an album. Towards the end of 2005 Esham could no longer be a part of Psychopathic Records. His last concert under the label was at the 5th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos. He contributed to the Soopa Villainz project and later left. The split was on bad terms according to acidrap.com. The reason, also according to acidrap.com, was that Psychopathic Records did not allow him to use the name The Unholy,The Black Devil or the group NATAS. Athough bitterness was expressed by both parties directly after the split, Esham and Psychopathic have since publicly apoligized to one another, and stated that any past grievances are water under the bridge.
On June 6, 2006 (6/6/06) Esham released the Judgement Day box set, Rap's first $100 box set, available only through the Natas website. This set includes Judgement Day Vol.1 and 2, the previously unreleased Judgement Day Vol.3 and 4, a new 6 track Esham EP, and a DVD featuring concert footage from '04. Only 1,000 have been produced.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was dazey crazy for the ho
The bitch took my feelin's and phazed me, I know
I shoulda watch my back but I did'nt so
My hate for the ho begins to grow
I met her a month ago
It was'nt bout money though
As far as I could see her personality was cool
But I found myself likeing her and bein all up on her
She teased with the pussy had my mind in the Twilight Zone
It was like dial-a-porn whenever we talked on the phone
I'm asking her "Wassup, when you gone let me hit it?"
She said "Right now, I'm hot and horny, hurry come and get it."
I reached her house in a minute, I was all up in it
First time ever fucked her, damn it was splended
The bitch had my mind goin' loopty loop
I was pussy whipped up like grandmas soup
Had me in a state of shock while she was ridin my jock
Sweat dripped off my balls cuz the walls was hot
She was sucking me and fucking me like the freak on the flick
Then I sucked on her titties while she rode my dick
She said "Please be gentle, hold me dont let go".
And all I was thinking was "oh..oh"
Bare with me brotha, I dont know what I was thinkin of
I'm thinkin how could makin fuck turn outta makin love
Slowly as I fucked her, she called me Harry
She called Charles, Earl, James, and Larry
I took three more strokes and then bust a nut
Come to find out my dream girl was just a slut
The freak of the week, I did'nt stop to think
How many's made you scream girl, nasty dream girl
Dream girl, dream girl, fuckin nasty, dream girl
Dream girl, dream girl, suckin dick, dream girl
Dream girl, dream girl, ho'y ass dream girl
You's just a bitch, dream girl
Dream girl, dream girl, fuckin nasty, dream girl
Dream girl, dream girl, suckin dick, dream girl
Dream girl, dream girl, ho'y ass dream girl
You's just a bitch, girl, I hate you, BITCH
The song "Dream Girl" by Esham is a narrative about a guy who meets a girl that initially he really likes. The girl is cool and has a great personality. But, after they have sex, he realizes that she's a slut and that he has been played. The whole experience was just a dream and he wakes up realizing that there was nothing real about it. Esham reminisces about how he was suckered into falling for this girl, 'the dream girl', although the underlying theme of his raps are dark and related to horrorcore - a rap subgenre he helped popularize.
In the first verse, the singer introduces the listener to the titular "Dream Girl," who he "met a month ago." He initially planned to seduce this girl, but ends up liking her and falling for her. Esham describes the process from infatuation to disappointment vividly. He is manipulated by the girl, who teases him sexually and is ultimately revealed to be a “slut” who's played "freak of the week" multiple times. The song is a reflection of the dangers and pitfalls of the fleeting nature of human interaction, and the music itself emphasizes the tragedy of the situation.
Overall, the lyrics of the song present a message to people who fall for others easily. Esham tries to reveal that people should be wary of whom they like, spend time with, and have sex with, as it can always lead to disappointment. The song is raw and unfiltered, yet the pain oozes out of every line. Esham's rhyming patterns are intricate, and the beats are perfect for the eerie and heavy themes of the song.
