Emile YX - From B boys To Being Men
Review by Romana Frangipani.cz
Emile YX's album "From B Boys To Being Men" is a powerful ode to the journey of growing up and finding one's place in the world. The album is a masterful blend of hip-hop, spoken word poetry, and soulful melodies, all woven together by Emile's raw and honest lyricism.
From the opening track "Intro," Emile sets the tone for the album with a powerful spoken word piece that speaks to the struggles and triumphs of his personal journey. The album then dives into a series of tracks that explore themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, showcasing Emile's versatility as an artist.
Standout tracks on the album include "In My Head," a hauntingly beautiful track that explores the complexities of mental health, and "Being Men," a powerful call to action for men to take responsibility for their actions and be better role models for future generations.

Notes
- This documentary tells how necessity assisted the pioneer b-boys/ break-dancers in South Africa to create events and opportunities for dancers by hosting workshops and then competitions and then events like African Battle Cry and Battle of the Year, South Africa. This created many more dancers, while also feeding the culture with opportunities for new dancers, MCs, DJs and Graffiti Artists to learn more about the culture and their skill. It also gives voice to many of the first generation dancers that are often forgotten. It tries to supply a first person experience of Hip Hop in South Africa and also exposes the work done by Heal the Hood Project (www.healthehood.org.za) over the last 13 years and still bein done. It also exposes the industries lie of fame fro many artists and the reality of survival as an artist.
