Plus he runs a dope and complete hiphop blog, supporting independent artists to the fullest ! Logically, I had to ask him : how to be an emcee ? 1) What do you expect the most from an emcee ? What I expect from an emcee is character and knowledge of history of Hip Hop 2) What do you like the most from emcees nowadays ? What I like about most about emcees these days is their desire use the media outlets available to put out their music. 3) Chose one : flow or meaning ? Flow 4) New track every week or two album a year ? Doesn’t matter due to creativity can happen every week or you can have enough material for two albums within a year. 5) The beat thing an emcee can do for his / her fans ? The best thing an emcee can do for his / her fans is put out QUALITY music.
