Known globally as one of the finest lyricists, the Last Emperor thrusted his way onto the scene in the late nineties. He honed his skills on the “open mic" circuit including the legendary Lyricist Lounge showcase. His eminent stage presence and hypnotizing live show stood out amongst his fellow peers, ultimately landing him on the" C.I.A (Criminals in Action)" record with KRS-One and Zack De La Roche (of the former Grammy winning band Rage Against the Machines) for Rawkus Records "Lyricist Lounge Volume 1" project.
