I love his single <em>Cruise Control<\/em>, because I love its fast-paced back beat. For those who are not familiar with Emaximus, he describes his music as: \u201cAspect reality ~ Real music and real life in a creative fashion. My music describes real events and real thought processes in a creative form.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emaximus started beatboxing and break dancing with his cousin Teflon Tysyn Jones after listening to music from New York and underground artists from Oakland. \u201cAfter listening to my cousins play that music and watching them freestyle, that made us want to do it. When they became successful, we took it upon ourselves to learn how to write and how to freestyle. That\u2019s how me and Teflon got into music. Now, he\u2019s no longer with us, but we were the driving force amongst our friends who wanted to do hip hop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his brother, Emaximus credits a long list of artists for influencing him to become a rap and hip hop artist: Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, N.W.A., Tupac Shakur, Eminem, Del The Funky Homosapien, EPMD, A Tribe Called Quest, Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel, Big Daddy Kane, Eazy-E, E-40, Too $hort, Above The Law, Parliament, The Isley Brothers, Brand Nubian and Ice-T. \u201cI learned from watching them and listening to them. Those are the people who pretty much influenced me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The name Emaximus originated from a series of childhood nicknames. \u201cIt first started off being Emaculate. That\u2019s what my folks and people called me in my neighborhood. Then, my brother kept calling me Maximus. As I got older and started to do music, since there were other people with that name, I wanted to change it to be something original. <em>Gladiator <\/em>was one of my favorite movies, so I put the \u2018E\u2019 in front of Maximus. That\u2019s how it worked out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2878\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Emaximus-performing-too-225x224.jpg\" alt=\"Emaximus performing\" width=\"225\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Emaximus-performing-too-225x224.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Emaximus-performing-too-225x224-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Emaximus-performing-too-225x224-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Emaximus-performing-too-225x224-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Emaximus-performing-too-225x224-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>How does Emaximus use the internet to get the word out? He has multiple websites and social media accounts. \u201cIt started out with me trying to find a good website to network with. I was trying to build a fan base. I spread the music out on those websites and sent out emails. I posted new music and more people started to follow along. When I\u2019m out in public and I don\u2019t have the music on me, I give people those links. Now, I\u2019m spread out across the world, so it really helps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emaximus advises other artists: \u201cYou have to stay focused. You have to do a lot of work on your own, before you can get other people to help you. You have to keep that solo mindset, rather than depending on somebody else. If you happen to get people to help you along the way, that\u2019s a good thing, but make sure you check who you\u2019re working with. Some people may waste your time. You also have to network.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s up next for Emaximus? \u201cI\u2019m going back into the studio to work on a couple albums. I want to make more songs and spread them out to the people. I\u2019m trying to release my new album called <em>A Beautiful <\/em>Mind, I\u2019m promoting my mix tapes and I\u2019m also trying to setup some shows.\u201d The Emaximus mix tape is titled <em>We On That Sh$t Again-Making Something From Nothing<\/em> and his current EP on iTunes is <em>Ripper<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Join Emaximus and help him get his words out to the people.\u00a0 You can find his music on N1M (NumberOneMusic.com), SoundCloud, VOD Recordings and ReverbNation.<\/p>\n<p>The Amused Now Featured Artist Series<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2881\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Emaximus-No-Trespassing-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"Emaximus No Trespassing \" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Emaximus-No-Trespassing-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Emaximus-No-Trespassing-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Emaximus-No-Trespassing-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Emaximus-No-Trespassing-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Emaximus-No-Trespassing-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Emaximus<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Emaximus9\" target=\"_blank\">@Emaximus9<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Emaximus98\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/Emaximus98\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/101317251657941331288\/posts\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Kahn, Founder of Amused Now \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Amused_Now\" target=\"_blank\">@Amused_Now<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AmusedNow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/106372266016264510992\/about\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/amused-now\/id916561789\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hip hop and rap recording artist Emaximus is a rising star, who\u2019s been living the hip hop lifestyle since age 4.
