Smoke Emerson

Old dog, new tricks. Smoke Emerson is a veteran MC with a fresh voice. His raw emotional lyricism is a call back to blog era rap and freestyle sessions around cafeteria lunch tables. Whether he’s reminiscing on days past over acoustic instrumentals or howling at the moon by way of a relentless freestyle verse, Smoke always has his heart on his sleeve. Raised on everything from Mac Miller and A Tribe Called Quest to Lynyrd Skynyrd and City & Colour, Smoke’s music is the story of every wrong turn and lesson learned. Not defined by one singular point of view, Smoke Emerson is a product of being broken down and built back up over and over again, each time with a renewed perspective. After making a name for himself in his hometown, this independent Winnipeg-based rapper packed his bags and relocated to Toronto to elevate his career to the next level in Canada's hip-hop capital.
