E-Mortal delivers a
refreshing, original and intelligent brand of lyric-heavy,
and stellar production, which has always hinted at the
bright future ahead of him both as an artist and a
producer, representing not a block, not a hood, not even a
city.....but an entire nation, culture and completely
different (new and improved) genre.
Originally from Nicaragua, and making London Ont. home,
E-Mortal feels blessed to have been an avid fan of hip
hop during arguably the 2 most important "renaissances" in
hip hop history, both in 1988 and 1994. Weaned on such
artists as Bone Thugs N Harmony, Wu Tang, Snoop Dogg,
2pac, Big Pun, Nas, Royce Da 5'9 and Tha Outlaw (Immortalz....where
E-Mortal credits the origins of his name).
E-Mortal's musical background began at age 18, with a
couple of friends. But his fate was to be sealed later in
2000 when he started taking his talent more serious and
helped start an independent label (Penetraitor Inc).
Rumored to have been the backbone (his humility will not
allow him to admit it) of the labels' unity, and
eventually parting ways at the same time the label
collapsed in 2004, E-Mortal single handedly
released his stunning debut album "Poison Tongue"
which is available on the
CDs page.
In the spring of 2006
E-Mortal joined Verse (a long time friend,
artist, owner of Life Records) in maintaining the
buzz and keeping hip hop relevant in Canada with multiple
songs on radio, and performing at many different venues
for Life Records
throughout the country, at the same time he was producing
for other acts and formed a small "super-group"
bearing the same name as one of his production companies
"The Reign".
This production team
consisted of 2 producers (Optic & Logik), 3
veteran emcees (E-Mortal, Ron B, and
Kurieous aka Beef Wellington) 2 Up and coming
young guns (Krisis and Price) 1 Singer (Rovy)
and 1 Reggae affiliate EvaFlow.
Noticing the abundance of
talent and the potential each of these artists had by
themselves, the idea was quickly and amicably shelved.....
although several songs were recorded and
collaborations among these artists is consistent to this
day.
A trip to Nicaragua, Promoting for "Poison Tongue",
various mixtape releases, numerous guest appearances, an
eye opening tour, another trip to Nicaragua, and a first
hand taste of what the latin market can do...all in 2
years,
were enough to pen the his
2nd and most current album..a double album: "Spanglish".
