Focus and Philosophy

Raw, unadulterated creativity and reality-based, poetic schematics are the main elements that separate EM-ME from other artists. Born and raised in Baltimore, MD, EM-ME is one of the founding members of the Baltimore-based group, TrifeWound. As other hip-hop artists produce compositions to conform with the fads and flashy imagery wrapped around a shallow and materialistic mindset, EM-ME’s compositions are focused on challenging certain realities while also delving into issues that are more relative to the urban experience with which people all over the world can relate (noted in one of his earlier songs as the “street corner philosophy”). Without question, EM-ME is an entertainer. However, while continuing to engage his listeners, EM-ME also focuses on providing listeners with vivacious maturity not found in the present mainstream music (Sample of EM-ME's music and spoken word).

Projects and Reputation

EM-ME has been recognized by Baltimore radio stations 92Q.FM (Squirrel Wyde 92Q Jams, WRZQ) and 88.9 FM (Strictly Hip Hop on WEAA) as an impact player in the Baltimore/DC Metropolitan area. Between performances and cypher-sessions, EM-ME’s incessant fire continues to blaze and gain the respect of not only fans, but also from many fellow artists.

EM-ME and TrifeWound have also made an international impression as well. Although many of the compositions were recorded between the years of 1997 and 2004, songs recorded by EM-ME and the rest of the TW Fam are still being purchased via eBay and discogs.com. Several listeners and DJs in Switzerland and Germany are still commenting on YouTube with regards to how the EM-ME/TW d abroad within the past two years and is in high demand (check out this TrifeWound Classic promoted by TheMrHighTower YouTube Channel).

In addition to working on his own music projects, EM-ME has also been instrumental in providing artists in the DC,MD, VA area with musical platform, entitled the DMV Sound Boutique (Twitter.com/DMVSound or visit Youtube/DMVSoundBoutique).
