There would be no Eminem or Insane Clown Posse without Esham. First busting onto the scene as a teenager in 1989, Esham calls his style of rock-infused hip-hop “acid rap.” The influential horrorcore rapper takes the stage this weekend as part of an eclectic lineup that he personally curated, including such wide-ranging acts as the Amino Acids, Wiccans, and the Hatchet Man Project.

“I’m stoked about this lineup,” Esham wrote on Instagram. “Each artist was handpicked by ME, so you know they’re dope!”

Starts at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 30 at Harpos; 14238 Harper Ave., Detroit; harposlive.com. Tickets are $30 advance, $35 day of show.
