Em.A, whose real name is Adebayo Michael Muyiwa, is a hiphop Artiste based in Lagos, Nigeria.
“Up the Ante” is the follow up to Mandate, a single he dropped some time last year, which garnered a lot of radio airplay and received generally positive reviews. On “Up the Ante”, Em.A delivers cleverly constructed lyrics on a hot trap beat produced by Sarz protege Kannon.
It serves as the first single to be released by the independent label M.O.E Music, which was founded by Em.A, Kannon and Rapper/Graphic Artist Jackmillz.
