EME associate and rapper XO
Senavoe joins the train on Saturday August 18 in Atlanta. The EME crew
performs in Washington DC, Chicago and New York which wraps up the tour.
The North-American involves two of the Empire Mates Entertainment
associates; Rotimi and XO Senavoe.
XO Senavoe is a
half-Nigerian, half-Ghanaian rapper who has been making a name for
himself thanks to his unique and rapid wordplay. The upcoming rapper has
gotten huge co-signs from established acts such as Banky W and M.I.
Last year he featured in the historic Nigerian BET Awards Cypher which
included Mode 9, Sauce Kid, M.I, Ice Prince and Naeto C. This year he
was one of the promising acts that featured on M.I Abaga’s Illegal Music 2 mixtape.
Rotimi
is an American singer with Nigerian heritage. He was born in the city
of New Jersey 22 years ago. His love for music started when his father
started exposing him to the music of the late great Fela Anikulapo-Kuti
and Reggae icon Bob Marley. At the age of 15 Rotimi wowed the Apollo
Theatre crowd and won the first place position on Amateur Night. Later
on he joined a group called NBH made up of two of Jay-Z’s cousins. He is
presently recognized as one of the brightest up-coming multi talented
artistes in the American entertainment industry.
The label is also working on a pan-Nigeria tour, with details to be announced this summer.
