This guy life story is amazing. Please take a look at the links provided for more info. I had the oppurtunity of meeting him in a recording studio today and im moved by the story of his life he told me.

 

[Kreeeee]

Nope, never heard of him. Rappers and guns aren't cool anyway.

 

[chris_r]

Never heard of him.

 

[Cueball]

"gloaks"? Surely you mean "GLOCK" handguns?

 

[FeFiDoh]

The guy is cool and very friendly, please read about his lifestyle. He is the original Gangsta rapper and he has packed gloaks and AK47....this aint no joke.

Nah you are getting it wrong, the studio engineer was the writer of chico time not emmanual.
He is not a gangsta rapper but he was a child soldier, please read his biography. He has won an international award....Come on.

 

[ElRazur]

Rap star Emmanuel Jal is a former starving child soldier who contemplated suicide and cannibalism.
He's topped the charts in his adopted home of Kenya, performed at Live 8 in Cornwall, and got a US tour lined up this year.

He was recruited to fight in Sudan's civil war, by the age of eight had learnt to fire an AK47 and at 13 was fighting on the front line.

He trekked over 1,000 miles across Sudan, surviving drought and famine, and was eventually rescued and smuggled into Kenya

i have heard of him havent heard anything of his

 

[PardonTheWait]

People are misunderstanding the OP, the guy wasn't a 'gangster', he was a child soldier in the Sudan. Interesting story

 

[Sanzy]

Emma McCune, who smuggled him into Kenya after he¹d spent five horrific years in the bush

Please tell me im not the only person who giggled at this ... hehe

Meh... No one's reading the articles El posted, they're just making assumptions and slagging off his post.. bit unfair.

People are misunderstanding because of this

He is the original Gangsta rapper and he has packed gloaks* and AK47....this aint no joke.

Maybe if the OP could make his opening post (the most important post in a thread) more clear then less people would misunderstand. As soon as I saw this sentence I thought .

Perhaps if ElRazur could be a tad clearer in his original posts....?

This dude has an interesting life story and it would be a shame if people were put off reading about him because of a poorly worded post

Aye I assumed that too but I thought I'd give it a chance, the OP does need a bit of rewording from El..

Studio engineer writing songs? You sure he wasn't a producer rather than a studio engineer?

Good luck with your music career... it's tough out there and you don't get anywhere without a lot of hard graft.

Thanks guys, i have reworded it now. So hopefully there should be no more gangster slagging anymore.

He's jack of all trade (and very talented), they call him roachie, he's worked with the likes of Tom jones, anastasia, chico, and loads of urban artist - Ayak, damage etc.

He's the one singing on the track if you check out the home page of the featured artist.
