The Genre-fi-cation Tour makes it’s Milwaukee stop on the tour at the Cactus Club Friday, November 3rd with Emmitt James & Friends. Doors will be at 8pm with music starting at 9pm. The tour is called the Genre-fi-cation Tour because each show on the tour will have its own unique blend of live music, spoken word, and comedy proving artists can be genre-fluid.
GENRE: HIP-HOP
From the DIY circuit to playing bigger stages like the Roxy and the Novo, Emmitt James is a well celebrated and experienced performer. The Midwest-bred emcee and now LA-based hip-hop artist has been said to be reminiscent of acts like A Tribe Called Quest, Anderson. Paak and The Internet. Since being billed for Pharcyde Phestival ( 2018), Emmitt has been gaining momentum from opening for legendary acts such as The Pharcyde and Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) to contemporary acts like Cuco, Joey Purp, Duckwrth, Old Man Saxon, Jay Prince, Banesworld and more. He also was a semi-finalist (top 12 out of 1,000) in the Adidas Originals Sound Lab grant competition where he scored a meeting with Pusha T at ComplexCon 2018.
