Emay (pronounced M-A) hails from Hamilton, Ontario and he's something like a phenomenon. His lyrics are just deep enough to get stuck in your head for days while his dreamy production combines elements from numerous genres. It's like musical Star Trek, as this dude will transport you to unforeseen places track after track. His full length debut entitled "Adam" is one of the best mixtapes I've heard so far this year. Its rich with sound experimentation and has an emotional complexity that blurs the line between poetry and music. You'll hear everything from hockey references to internal reflections [...]
Emay delivers his brand new and very thought provoking album entitled Adam . This is not your typical hip hop project. You will find yourself lost in the intricate details of each track as Emay tells his story.

If you happen to be a long-time reader of this blog, you might know that Ontario, Canada's Mubarik Adams aka EmAy has been one of our very favourite experimental rappers in the "blogosphere", ever since we stumbled upon his rework of Karen O and the Kids back in the spring of 2010. And even so, EmAy has definitely proved to evolve musically during the past two years he frequently has been putting up new tunes on the internet; the earlier ones with production leaning more towards shoegaze esque, glitchy beats, both with or without his own [...]
Last month, I was talking to Emay about his upcoming project. I'm a fan of his music, but he's never seemed to keep up with the way things happen on the internet. At least, that's how I saw it. Until he told me about his project, I had no idea he was working on it. He doesn't drop promo videos or random mixtapes. He doesn't share unfinished demos or loose throwaways every couple weeks. I brought this up to him, and told him that with things moving so fast and people consuming so much, he might want to [...]
I mentioned my affinity for innovative Hamilton MC Emay in my Urbnet Compilation post from last week, so I was happy to get news of new music from him in advance of a debut full-length coming soon. If the rest is similar to this spacey, passionate banger, I say yes please. The sooner the better. Great stuff. MP3:: Emay - Igneous Rockstar WEB:: emayzin.com
Urbnet is a label I've always had a lot of time for. This is due to the fact they've always tried to fight the good fight as far as hip hop and progressive electronic/urban type music is concerned. As an example, earlier this year I posted on Emay and mentioned that I thought he was doing some of the most original hip hop I'd heard coming out of Canada. Well, check the tracklisting for URBNET's 7th annual edition of their hip hop compilation and you'll see Emay on there - a small example perhaps, but it heartens [...]
It's been a while since we've heard from Emay . After running through these two tracks, though, it's clear that his skills have not been dulled by the time spent off the blogosphere. The flow is refreshingly off-kilter, but not too weird that it detracts from any of the content - Emay is the kind of rapper I never find myself drifting off to and letting the lyrics fade into the background, I'm inevitably paying attention to what he has to say. The beats are the same way; weird, jagged, tough to digest. But despite the complete lack of [...]
While the track listing for this month's podcast is a tad bit shorter, it still ticks in at just over an hour. With that said, you can expect to see some awesome cuts from Frank Ocean, Gold Panda, Four Tet, Thom York, Star Slinger, David Dallas, The Weeknd and much more! I tried to keep things pretty diverse all around, so you might be thrown for quite a loop when you are hearing some acoustic love song one minute, and then a gnarly electronic beat the next. That is how we do it over here at Potholes! Along with this [...]
A few weeks ago, Canadian producer/MC Emay dropped a second EP for the year with Incorruptible . Emay has appeared more than once on this blog and if one thing is clear, his brand of Hip Hop is different from the rest. I've noticed Emay doesn't recruit other MCs to feature on tracks, rather he tends to collab with the brighter stars of the indie/electronic blogosphere. For instance, the track below "Bars" features Evan Abeele from Memoryhouse on piano with Optimist Park (Kiss Kiss Fantastic) ending the song with powerful vocals. Emay's persistant focus on this spectrum [...]
Emay - Against the Wind "The Battle" Emay - Talitha Cumi "Fly Bitch" Emay is back with a new EP Incorruptible. Those who've heard the Canadian emcee/producer's past releases will know to expect originality and consistently ill beats & rhymes. You can't put a price on good honest music, so name yours. "If you don't like my rhymes check the beats/and if you don't like my beats then, you're deaf." DOWNLOAD EP HERE [...]
Early this year, we were sent an email from Hamilton MC/Producer Emay (Mubarik Adams), and I remember going to his Bandcamp site and being really intrigued by what I heard. So of course I made a note to revisit Emay's work and get something posted on the hill about it. Well here we are some three months later, and the prolific Emay has managed to release a new EP ( Incorruptible ) before I was even able to cobble together a post on his last one ( Mind Altering Dynamics ).

Emay – Adam [Free Album]
What a long way this Canadian kid has come. I remember back when we started Potholes, Emay shot us a remix mixtape, showcasing the true potential he had behind the boards. Little did we know, he would follow it up on the microphone shortly thereafter. Fast forward to present day, Emay is finally ready to drop off his debut full-length, Adam . Taking the lead on both the raps and beats, there are few artists out there that can throw it down like this. Clocking in at a lean 11 tracks, Emay does a fine job of [...]

Emay – "Igneous ROCKstar" & "No Sign"
It took me long enough, but after constant reminders, I am finally getting this fabulous double single posted. Emay has been quite the past few months, as he has been hard at work on his upcoming album, Adam . I have given the demoes a few spins over the past weeks and all I can say is that you better get used to this kids name. With features from Ramona Falls, Guerre, and other indie-heavy artists, Adam is looking to be a special blend of musical influences. Anyway, Emay is kindling the fire a bit with "Igneous [...]

WANDERLUST: PENNY AND THE QUARTERS, JAMES VINCENT MCMORROW, PERFUME GENIUS, EMA
Have you ever seen someone peacefully dozing in the morning light? The sun is rising and the birds are singing and they look so wonderfully serene. In that moment you can believe in a higher being, you can believe in love and fairy tales and innocence and peace. In that moment everything is achievable and everything is real, and the tooth fairy doesn't seem so far-fetched. And then they start to wake, almost always with a smile, almost never in a rush, almost perfect, these moments are. Have you seen the sunset? The fragmented blues and reds and purples, and [...]

P&P Interview: Emay
Emay 's music has been winning over fans left and right (check out his latest EP here ), but we still haven't spent the time to introduce you to Emay (Mubarik Adams) the person. The thing is, this producer/emcee creates such a powerful brand of hip-hop that the music really speaks for itself. Still, there are important things that you should know about Emay, like his celebrity crushes, whether or not he's into reality television, and if he prefers Jimi Hendrix or Bob Marley. So here it is, the P&P interview with Emay... [...]

Emay – Incorruptible (EP)
Super busy, so not a lot I can write on this. In short though, very intelligent lyricism from Hamilton, ON rapper Emay who goes in over some solid alternative and indie samples. Has a slight Kid Cudi style to it but with more substance. Listen below and then sound off, fresh or no?
