The Last Emperor

The Last Emporor, a West Philadelphia native has been an underground hip-hop mover and shaker since the mid-'90s. Having attended Overbrook High, Philadelphia's own hip-hop high, which saw the likes of Cool C, Steady B, and the Fresh Prince pass through its hallowed halls, Last Emp became a B-Boy by osmosis in addition to being a wizard in the classroom.


After graduating from the nation's first historically black college (Lincoln University), Emp took his act to New York, where he caught on with storied Lyricist Lounge. Emperor's first on-wax experience was a significant one, appearing alongside KRS-One and Rage Against the Machine's Zach de la Rocha on the cut "C.I.A." from 1998's Lyricist Lounge, Vol. 1. Having served notice to his scholastic street skill, Emperor hit the road to polish up his on-stage performance, occasionally popping up on mix tapes from time to time.

Having stirred the underground into a frenzy with rumors of a debut album, in early 2000 official word came that Emp had signed with independent kingpin label Rawkus. Distribution problems, however, kept the record off the racks.

Last Emperor with a message, taken from he's lyric's, has a conclusion that 85% of the game that is involved in the media is based on a fake image. That MC's speaks about things that is not real. Things that has nothing positive to offer the world, and that the lyrics is only revolving around them self. No logic & common sense. Do you live your everyday life, pimp'in, or hustling with a tech nine in your waist? Most people don't...

Last Emperor, with he's political, historian, confrontational, street-smart flow, has given me chills down my spine. The Last Emperor gives me total satisfaction when it comes to lyrics. Nothing is is better, then listening to an intelligent MC that really knows what he's is talking about, spreading he's messages to the world, through he's music.
