Last Emperor – Do you Remember

Last Emperor – Secret Wars

Last Emperor – Charlie Brown

Last Emperor – One Life

Last Emperor is easily one of my favourites emcees of all time.  I’m lucky enough to own a few of his albums on CD and Vinyl and have never been tempted to sell them despite them selling for quite a nice profit.  The Last Emperor was born in Philadephia and gained recognition during open mic nights.  His quick witted lyrics soon gained the attention of Aftermath Records whom he signed for after moving to New York.  He became a protégé of Dr Dre.

His deal with Aftermath was shortlived and he decided to leave them after being disgruntled over the lack of effort put in by Aftermath and Dr Dre who at the time was busy with his newest artist Eminem.  He then signed to Rawkus Records but again left before releasing any material he then went on to sign to Raptivism Records releasing the critically acclaimed Music, Magic, Myth.  He has travelled the world opening up for some of the biggest names in Hip Hop (The Roots, Common, Gorillaz, Krs-One).

Despite the success early on in his career The Last Emp remains one of the most slept on talented emcees of all time.  He is most known for the Hip Hop classic Secret Wars which you can listen to above.  The song depicts rappers battling Marvel superheroes and is one of the most creative songs of all time.

He currently has his own label – Red Planet Music and is currently working on his next album – The Wizards Wardrobe – due to be released later this year.  They also recently dropped a mixtape called Science Team Go! which you can download below.
