Emay [Bars feat. Optimist Park]

A few weeks ago, Canadian producer/MC Emay dropped a second EP for the year with Incorruptible. Emay has appeared more than once on this blog and if one thing is clear, his brand of Hip Hop is different from the rest. I've noticed Emay doesn't recruit other MCs to feature on tracks, rather he tends to collab with the brighter stars of the indie/electronic blogosphere. For instance, the track below "Bars" features Evan Abeele from Memoryhouse on piano with Optimist Park (Kiss Kiss Fantastic) ending the song with powerful vocals. Emay's persistant focus on this spectrum of the music world makes for interesting listening, need I say creating experimental sounding Hip Hop.

Emay [Racist On Purpose]

This new track from Emay is probably to most deep I've heard from the MC/producer in where he transforms himself into a white supremacist and views racism through the eyes of another human being.  What seems like a strange concept comes off quite nicely as Emay is relentless as he spits along the track which contains a sample from Mount Eerie.

Emay [Douche Lincolns]

"Douche Lincolns" is the latest track to be released from Canad'a Emay. I've covered Emay on this blog a couple times now and with each new song sent over I am just enthralled by this young MC's rhyme flows and delivery. Buts its not only his lyrics that make him an artist to watch out for, it is also his skill at beat production. From other reviews I've read the flattering Madlib comparison has been brought up and I honestly think Emay is on the right path. The track came accompanied with another new track, still in the demo stages, but awesome nonetheless. Both songs contain samples from Guided By Voices; ya'll just have to figure it out.

Emay [If You're Beathing]

The new single from Canada's Emay was made known to me from Star Slinger over the weekend and it is no secret that I've not been into the whole Hip Hop world for the last several years; I feel the heart & soul has evaporated from the game. But every now and then I hear a track from an artist who is trying all they can to revive the fainting pulse of a genre gone cold. Emay is one of those cats who carefully constructed this track where his samples enhance the song while his lyrics flow out gracefully and smooth.
