Hey guys, today we have a new Indy Spotlight for you.

Emar is an artist from Georgia who is working hard trying to make a name. From South Augusta, it seems hard to make something of yourself. If your not 2 hours down the road in ATL, it can be really hard to create your buzz.

Emar is one artist who is not letting that stop him. From working hard on his music and traveling whenever he can, he is destined to make his dreams come true. Today he drops his project ‘Autonoumous2020’ which is a dope project showing what our future holds. The project features 7 new tracks with all different vibes. 

We think Emar has a lot of potential and we believe that he is next up out of GA. Remember we told you so. We got a chance to chop it up with Emar and get to know more about him. Check it out below:

Explain who you are for those who may not know
I am ‘Emar’ (formerly known as EMarWill) from South Augusta, Georgia. I’m a 21 year old four-time college dropout. I originally wanted to be like Hype Williams but music equipment was cheaper than a camera, so I got into music production.

How long have you been into music? 
I’ve been into music most of my life. I started writing my first raps at age eleven and recording myself at thirteen. But even years before then in my bedroom I would rap a few bars I thought of in my head.

What makes you different from other artists?
I believe everyone is unique, but many choose to replicate the same formula. It works, but, I’ve never been interested. I knew at thirteen years old many people wouldn’t understand my style and that it would be very difficult to catch a break. I was so excited when ‘Wolf’ came out. I got even more excited when Father and Awful started to break because their success proved to me I could be myself and be alright.

Who are your influences? 
Master P for his business mind and his success story. Andre 3000 for his deep lyrics and endless flows. Pimp C for his stories and “materialistic” raps (I believe he and Big Boi rap about luxury better than anyone else). DeVante Swing for his production skills and the talent that sprouted from him. Tyler The Creator because his productions are getting better with every release and he is still over looked by so many. Lil B because he started the Task Force and it has grown into a profitable wave.

What motivates you? 
What keeps me motivated in the discouraging independent world is the feeling I get when I’ve completed something fresh and new. Simply put, my love for a new sound keeps me motivated. I look back at all the songs I recorded and I talked a lot of s*** so I refuse to let my younger self  down.

What are your goals?
My main goal is to get into a position to go on international tours. I’m a huge fan of travel so I’d like to be able to make productions in places I’ve only seen while browsing the internet.

Talk to us about your project, what’s it called?
‘Autonoumous2020’ is my __teenth project that I’ve done. My concept behind this vibe is like an introduction to the future. You have AI, self-driving cars, drones, 3d printing, bluetooth this bluetooth that; I felt the need to make a soundtrack to the sci fi movie like reality we are walking into.

What made you want to do everything yourself?
I started doing everything myself because I had to. Most of my peers were interested in other things so help didn’t come until i was about sixteen years old. By that time, I was only interested in other artists being featured on my mixtapes.

What’s your fav song from the project and why?
‘Quick on the Draw’ I would say because when I conceived the idea I was hearing about a lot of gun play and I started to notice there was this wild-west-cowboy like mentality going around,  so I had to give my opinion of the merging eras.

Anything else you would like to say
We have to support and help each other! The “brand” is the future of Hip Hop and the internet.

New artists run the game. Every year we watch artists with no name become something huge. Usually, you can always tell when an artist is going to do big things. We got that vibe from Tweezy as soon as we connected. We even got the chance to chat with him and get to know the man behind the music. Read below and be sure to keep your eyes open for him. 

What does hip hop mean to you?
Hip Hop has been a voice for aspects of life. My sound is derived from all the struggles & hardships that made me who I am as an artist.

How did you get your start in music?
I was 17 rapping with my big cousin Deangelo. It came natural to me. It’s a process. Honing into your craft. Understanding your sound.

How long have you been making it?
I always loved writing raps, but in the last few years I’ve been consistently pushing myself to get my talent out there. Cutting music videos. Spending hours in the booth  pushing out song after song. Now ope in for different artist.

 Who are your influences?
PAC & Biggie are 2 of the greatest, but I relate a lot to lil Durk. His sound speaks to me.

 What motivates you?
Family is first and foremost. Success is 2nd

What are you currently working on? 
My mix tape no excuses  .. I definitely got some. Hot joints on there. My sound is versatile. It’s a reflection of my growing as an artist.

Finally! Years after a radio ban was made against Trae in his hometown of Houston, he’s turned to the courts yet again.

“We trying to get that ban lifted,” Trae told HipHopDX last week. “You know [they] gonna try to manipulate it, but it’s time to move forward.”

According to a press release, Trae filed the lawsuit against Urban One, Inc., Radio One of Texas II, LLC and program manager Terri Thomas on January 17, 2018.

In the lawsuit, Trae alleges “gross negligence, defamation, and tortious interference with prospective relations by an on-going ban against Trae Tha Truth from all things Urban One/Radio One.”

Trae’s previous case against Radio One was dismissed in 2010.
