Originally from Ravenswood Projects, Queens emcee Elijah Miguel is no stranger to hip-hop or the streets. A mic veteran who has been writing since the age of 8 years old, he masterfully communicates the solution to the epidemic plaguing the hip-hop culture. He made his rhyming debut in 2003 and has since built his reputation as one of New York’s elite by consistently dropping stellar featured verses on numerous independent projects, collaborating with artists from all over the Tristate, Midwest and the United Kingdom. After an increasing demand to put out a solo project from fans and artist peers alike, Elijah Miguel released his 1st official LP entitled Enough Is Enough in 2012.
New to the T.H.E.M. Recordings Camp, Elijah is proud to present his sophomore 17 track LP release under the label entitled Being Myself, which includes his singles, “Kindness for Weakness” and the title track of the album’s name. The LP also features cameos from labelmate Mic Handz, Doc Ahk and Bankai Fam’s Skanks the Rap Martyr. You can cop Being Myself on iTunes, Spotify and Tidal.
