Every few years, the hip-hop movement reinvents itself through the rising of the next generation of MCs. The old school planted the roots of the genre and over the past three decades, the game has seen the range of artists from EPMD to Eminem and survived the fierce confrontation of the East and the West as well as the emergence of the South.Now the time has come for the next reinvention to the face of the new hip-hop era. At the forefront of this movement is Roscoe Umali, one of the sharpest Emcees to have ever blessed the mic. In their basic form, Emcees are classified into three categories; the battle Emcee, the storytelling Emcee and the party Emcee. With his masterful rhyme schemes, slick delivery, and instinctive ability to get the crowd live with his one of a kind voice, Roscoe brings together all elements of the term “Emcee” in a way that has not been seen since the Golden Era of Hip Hop.
In the short span of a year he has redefined the meaning of hustle by collaborating with hip-hop legends such as E-40, Raekwon the Chef, Smif N Wessun, Talib Kweli, and Westcoast Kam. His industry buzz has also led to collaborations with multi-platinum producers DJ Muggs (Cypress Hill), DJ Khalil (Self Scientific, Jay-Z, G-Unit, The Game), Jellyroll (Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre), DK All Day (Ludacris), as well as some of the hottest up and coming beatsmiths Amil G, 1500 or Nutthin’,and Tech Beats. Mr. Umali is bubbling big time right now with collabs with Illmind, Bobby Valentino, Pitbull, Colby Odonis, and J Black. Follow as we enter the world of a true master: Roscoe Umali is next!
