Emiliano is a rapper, beatmaker, and anti-fascist from Portland, OR (PDX) He is half of the PDX hip-hop group The Unified Theory. Blending east coast aesthetics with west coast embellishments and shoehorning in radical politics he creates a unique Northwest style while mostly keeping it straight hip-hop. Rhyming about rare subject matter (at least for rap) and priding himself on humor and strangeness in both music and lyrics, Emiliano tries to stand out from the pack. After a few years of doing shows around town and sharing the stage with many of Portland’s rappers, both solo and with The Unified Theory, Emiliano took a long hiatus from performing regularly. He will be returning to the stage and releasing his debut solo album in 2019.
