Here’s a story about a Seattle emcee who took the town by storm:
Last summer, Neema Khorrami, a 21-year-old emcee who calls himself Unexpected Arrival, achieved what might have seemed impossible for a local artist on a small, independent label. His single “Take Control” became the most-requested song on Seattle’s KUBE-FM during an August countdown that pitted him against such big national stars as Eminem and Nelly. (full story)
You can listen to his songs here. Pretty good.
I love the idea of a local taking over the radio charts in his town. We need more of that.
