Baltimore-based Rapper eMeX and Philadelphia-based producer Paris Artelli recently released a new single called “The Message”. Drawing from inspirations such as A$AP Rocky and Kendrick Lamaer, eMeX’s flow darts in and out of Artelli’s beat in a masterful fashion that could be compared to many of the other greats of hip-hop. eMeX turned to hip-hop after an automobile accident ruined his professional sports aspirations and, if “The Message” is any indicator, he isn’t turning back any time soon. –Karl Dobias
