36 Issue 83 / 2016 guestlist.net ARTIST OF THE MONTH SHAY-D - A FIGURE OF SPEECH The London rapper, poet and activist is dropping her debut ONES TO WATCH EMILIE RAMIREZ 21 year-old, Danish-born singer/songwriter Emilie Ramirez's experimental style spans hip-hop, trap, soul and R&B Dripping with emotion and surrounded by deep layers of rough sound, her debut single 'Tranquilizer' was produced by Emilie herself with the help of Troels Kampmann Kjær, one of the most respected producers in the Danish underground hip hop scene, and mastered by music industry legend John Davis, from world-renowned studio Metropolis. Born and raised in rural Denmark, Emilie cites her childhood as key to her creative development as the artist she is today. She spent her formative years cultivating her artistic skill, first through drawing and later with verse, as an expressive outlet for the struggles which surrounded her. As she grew, she began to write poems, which she eventually set to melodies. Her mother, a passionate artist herself, played a key role in Emilie's growth, ensuring that music and art were central to her life from a very young age.

Although the ex-marijuana farmer is not currently a household name, at the rate he's going, it is highly expected that he will continue his meteoric rise into stardom which only started in 2011. This is rare chance to see a future star at a raw, excting stage of his development. ANDERSON .PAAK The Cali native will play XOYO on February 25th HIPHOP/ RNB A Figure Of Speech out on 12th February is an album that all real hip- hop fans need to watch out for. Every musician has their own personal message to share, but Shay-D's is one of social consciousness and general caring. Growing up in London, Shay-D aims to raise awareness of vulnerable young people through a combination of exceptional lyrical ability and hands-on grassroots activism. The LP is packed full of positive messages and real storytelling, a welcome change to other hip-hop artists. She really is an artist who practices what she preaches, so get behind Shay-D and go cop that album!
