\"Emay\"<\/p>\n

Last year, we introduced you to the powerful social commentary of Emay<\/a><\/strong> (Mubarik Adams), a hip-hop and experimental artist from Ontario, Canada. His new album, just released, is Ilah<\/a><\/strong> (on Star Slinger’s Jet Jam<\/a><\/strong> label). It picks up from where lead single “Israfil ‘angels trumpet'” left off — trying to make sense of a senseless world, envisioning a society where one can be the master of one’s destiny and not a victim of circumstance. In other words, it’s about life. His breathless prose is startling in its literary prowess and poetic deliverance. Phrases twirl around the musical accompaniment like beautifully twisting vines. They rise elegantly from the rich compost of hypnotic beats, experimental soundscapes and otherworldly voices, woven together like a timeless tapestry. The listener is alternately drawn into the depths of aural seduction and then popped awake with a powerful metaphor or turn of phrase.<\/p>\n
