Breaking Artist…? Emancipator

» Posted in Breaking Artists, Music Reviews at 6:38 am

By using music with a rep for being more uplifting and sometimes ethereal like M83 and Sigur Ros, and mashing them up with artists like Mobb Deep and Three Six Mafia, Emancipator has developed an interesting flavor. The combinations lend a woefulness to a genre that is sometimes criticized as glamorizing violence and corruption. The mixes take the subject matter out of context and seem to lament the deplorable state of affairs articulated by the emcees.

No MP3’s. Sorry. Peep his MySpace page, and listen to "M836Mafia" and "Shook."

Emancipator’s unsigned, too.
