Decided to switch things up a little bit this week with Artists to Know. Presenting tonight is not another rapper, nor is he someone with ties to movements that the affiliates run across. But, searching through Hip Hop Vibe and seeing Emerson Brooks doing some pretty dope covers warrants a feature.
By taking a look at the music already out, especially this year, clearly hip hop runs much deeper than rap. Emerson Brooks represents the new wave of singers rising and from what is featured from him on Hip Hop Vibe, his future is a very bright one. It is currently an era in hip hop when being yourself is in and Emerson Brooks fits the bill.
Emerson Brooks represents the new age with his sound and he has some hot covers, especially the one over Rihanna’s “Stay.” The job of a DJ is to be a fan of music and to be ahead of the trend. So, DJ Junior presents Artists to Know has delivered Emerson Brooks, who is receiving a lot of attention from Atlantic Records.
