E Sens was born on February 9, 1987 in North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea. He was 9 years old when his father died, and he dropped out of high school when he was 17. He became interested into hip hop at that time and chose the name E Sens, which is a shortened version of "Essayistic Sense."
In 2002, E Sens won a rap contest in Daegu, where he caught the attention of Minos, then a member of the hip hop team Virus. E Sens soon starting performing alongside Virus and other rappers in Daegu in a regular series of concerts called the "Hip-Hop Train" project. In 2004, he released his debut mini-album, Uncut, Pure!, a collaboration with rapper Planet Black.
E Sens garnered more attention in the hip hop community in 2007 when he featured on the song, "지켜볼게" by Paloalto and The Quiett. His popularity continued to increase with the single, "꽐라," which appeared on the Jiggy Fellaz compilation album Xclusive.
E Sens released his first mix tape, Blanky Munn's Unknown Verses, in 2007. Soon after, he signed a contract with record label Amoeba Culture as a member of the duo Supreme Team with Simon Dominic. Before the duo's debut, he released his second mix tape, New Blood, Rapper Vol.1, in 2008, which also garnered much attention from the Korean hip-hop community. The following year, E Sens became a member of Illest Konfusion, a hip hop crew that included Simon Dominic, Beenzino, and Swings. Supreme Team debuted the same year with the mini-album, Supreme Team Guide To Excellent Adventure. The duo went on to achieve critical success, winning Best New Male Group at the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards and the Hip Hop Award at the 2010 Golden Disk Awards.
