“His flow is of the legends from Q-Tip to Jay-Z, old school rappers like Easy-E and Chuck D. This is one of the funkiest releases of the year... Emcee Monte has a masterful way with the mic, smooth as anyone lyrically, a wordsmith in the age of current chaos.” - YOI
“Armed with his unique flow and insightful lyrics, he breaks down what it means to be black in America. With lines like "Black exodus, black excellence, I’m just minding my black-owned business" Monte revels in his roots and implores others to do the same.” - Tayo Odutola
“Emcee Monte has just released the very timely self-produced, new single and lyric video for #BlackLivesMatter which tells of the struggle, the tragedies, and triumphs of the racial climate in America today.” - DCWS
“If this is your first time hearing of Emcee Monte, I promise it won’t be your last. Emcee Monte was teleported straight out of the 90’s Hip-Hop era and dropped in our generation with a mission. ” - Jess McNeill
