About Rapamatics Be prepared to take notes little ones. The time has come to shut up, slap on your headphones and listen to some new fresh sounds. This is music that will move you, music that will shake you and music that sounds like it should be coming straight out of Los Angeles or New York. Calling the small town of Grand Prairie Alberta, Canada home, this is the story of Rapamatics. Born Kevin Emo, Rapamatics got his start at an early age. Motivated by his mother, who was a singer in a church choir, and influenced by the likes of Maestro Fresh Wes and LL Cool J Rapamatics began creating music at the tender age of 16. Together with his then partner Darren 'Dopestylez' Hammett, the two would form Blizzard Extortion. Using this project as a learning block, the group would expand and reform under the name EXTENT , which saw this young MC opening for Swollen Members (Battleaxe Records) at the Kat Walk in Red Deer Alberta in front of 2,500 people. In 2005 Extent would part ways leaving Rapamatics to go his own road. Since then this young MC brimming with poise, determination and wicked talent has been quietly building his reputation, constructing his songs and learning his craft. Rapamatics has also been collaborating with other talented MC's such as Richard "H20" Waters. Recently Rapamatics has also reunited with his longtime friend, mentor and collaborator Troy "Ratix" Radics and the pair have begun work on a new record. Big things are on the horizon with a planned album release for late 2007 and video and touring plans for 2008. Be on the lookout kids! You've been warned! Shoutouts: "I do want to send some shout outs to some people who have helped me see the better and they are: Justin Murta of Red Pill Records. www.redpillrecords.bizz and www.myspace.com/rebelz thanks for your help in see a better picture and sorry about the shows man. To my pal Troy Radics, it's been a great 17 years, you're like a brother and I'm so grateful to have you on my side! Looking forward to the future! And to Kris Ward my cousin, my pal and my family thanks for just helping out www.krisward.com. If you like rock music check my cousin out.". Peace and Respect. Rapamatics

Yep play lived my first show i did was in Red Deer. With my boy Dopestylez at the little X's club. could only fit 65 peeps and we slam 80 peeps and then a line up out the door. second show was perform at the largest Central Alberta club called the Kat Walk. myself and dopestylez did this one with Extents at the time new comer DVS, on St Patricks day like back in 2004 our third show was an opening for Swollen Memebers on July 29 2004. I will never forget that day as long as I live. after that day we did a show that just bombed pretty hard. and then i moved to Vancouver and did a few shows down there. and now i am going to do an Alberta tour in the new year.
