About

THE EMPEROR SCOOP “MIDAS 24 KG” OF SOUTHERN EMPIRE HAS BEEN AN ESTABLISHED, UNIQUELLY DIVERSE, INDEPENDENT ARTIST & PRODUCER IN ALL GENRES OF THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. HE IS THE FOUNDER & CEO OF HIS COMPANY, SOUTHERN EMPIRE, WHICH HAS 10+ YEARS IN POSITIVE EXPERIENCE WITH THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. HIS WORDPLAY AS AN ARTIST IS ONLY ONE OF HIS MANY SKILL SETS, AS HIS SMOOTH, DEEP, RAW, & SOMETIMES RASPY VOCAL BLEEDS THE DEFINITION OF HIP-HOP, IN EVERY CATORGORY THAT IT’S MANAGE TO REACH THIS PRESENT DAY. THERE’S NO BOUNDARY TO HIS ARTISTIC ABILITY, AS HIS ROUGH UPBRINGING ENABLES HIM TO SERANADE THE STREETS, & HIS KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE CONNECTS HIM TO & WITH THE WORLD. BORN JAMES EMANUEL HARRISON JR., JULY 18TH MARK THE DATE OF SOMEONE EXTRAORDINARY. HIP-HOP WAS NOT JUST A SAMPLE IN HIS CHILDHOOD, HE LIVED IT WELL INTO HIS MANHOOD. AFTER DISBANDING, FROM A VERY IMPACTFUL LOCAL RAP GROUP OF PEERS, HE WAS FACED WITH THE FACT OF BECOMING A SOLO ARTIST. WITH SUPPORTING LABEL MATES DEEZEL, MANDINGO, & SHAM-ROC’C, THIS TRANSITION SPAWNED THE RELEASE OF HIS FIRST SOLO INDEPENDENT DEBUT ALBUM ENTITLED, “OVA-LOOKED,” WHICH WAS A SOUTHERN EMPIRE/ROSEMONT RECORDS JOINT VENTURE. AS SALES OF THE ALBUM INCREASE, SO DID OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND HIS COMPANY INTO DIFFERENT DIVISIONS. ONE OF THESE OPPORTUNITIES CAME IN THE FORM OF “IN THE MIXX TV,” A VIDEO SHOW PRODUCED BY JAE FOSTER. TOGETHER, HIS COMPANY & ALONGSIDE JAE FOSTER WAS ABLE TO ESTABLISH AVENUES TO MARKET HIS ALBUM, OTHER ARTISTS, LOCAL BUSINESSES, & EVEN DEVELOPED CAREERS FOR THE CO-HOSTS OF THE SHOW. SHORTLY AFTER, A PIVOTAL & ADDITIONAL MOVE IN MANAGEMENT EXTENSION CAME WHEN BRENT “PAPER-GUY” MALONE WAS ADDED TO THE SOUTHERN EMPIRE ROSTER. THIS BROUGHT MORE STABILITY IN MARKETING, PROMOTIING, & ASSISTANCE TO HIS ENTIRE COMPANY. THOUGH HE IS AN ARTIST AT HEART, HE LATER TEAM UP WITH D.J. HARDWORK OF SLIP-N-SLIDE DJ’S & PRODUCED A BRAND OF SUCCESSFUL MIXTAPES. WITH MANY OTHER ACCOLADES TO COME, HE LOOKS FORWARD TO RELEASING A MOST-ANTICIPATED MIXTAPE FROM HIMSELF ENTITLED, “KEEP IT TRAPP VOL.1- THE HUSTLAZ EDITION,” WHICH WILL DEFINITELY PREMIERE A VAST AMOUNT OF DIVERSITY, CONSISTENCY, & GROWTH AS A ARTIST, PRODUCER, & INDIVIDUAL. *IF I F*CKS WITCHA, YOU KNOW OR YOU'LL KNOW. IF I DON'T YOU BETTA FIND OUT BOUT ME ON YOUR OWN...NO HATE.*
