Czarface and Stress Eater MC Esoteric followed up his proper debut solo album (2007’s Egoclapper) with this 2009 conceptual masterpiece, which is now available for the first time ever on vinyl!

This full-length is an audio drama based on a bizarre dream that Esoteric had sometime around 2006. As he describes it, “It was a crazy period in my life: I was engaged, in the process of finding a new home; I was starting my own label on a totally independent, self-financed level...I had a lot of stress and reservations in my life.  Celph Titled and I had just built my Pterolab studio, I had started to really produce and was really getting into it, making a ton of beats and had a ton of ideas. I guess all that stress and those feelings just manifested.”  The results were what became Saving Seamus Ryan.

The album is broken into chapters rather than individual tracks and includes vocal contributions from the legendary and consummate Hip Hop theme-writer Masta Ace, K.Flay, Blacastan, Main Flow, and Qwill.  Colorful characters from Eso’s childhood and subconscious also help along the journey (including a cameo by DJ Premier).  Esoteric handles most of the production duties himself, but is also backed by career-long partner 7L.

So sit back, drop the needle, and hear Esoteric proudly present one of the most intricate and personal works of his career.
