Pmove International Spotlight:
Name: Tony-Marcel of Emerge Clothing
Location:
Bergen, Norway The significance of the name Emerge:
The name Emerge represents a seed(idea) growing
into something big. About the Emerge
Clothing : The Emerge clothing line is currently in development.
The designs range from true hip hop to street/urban wear. The
staff includes 4 designers. A graphic designer focuses on the
hip hop stuff while the other three concentrate more on the urban
designs. The line has designs for both men and women and
includes T shirts, tops, jackets, caps, hoodies and sweaters with
more items and accessories coming soon. Emerge's major competitors
in Norway's market are LRG and INI (a Norwegian brand).
About the Norwegian hip hop scene:
The hip hop sc ene
in Norway is growing and gaining visibility both in the media and in
the streets. A new television and radio channel called
"The Voice of Hip Hop and RnB" is bringing hip hop to light.
You can also catch young g's out in the streets with a bandanna
around their neck, hat tilted to the side and a spliff
blazing. The influence of U.S. artists like Snoop Dogg, 50
Cent and Game is definitely present.
On his involvement in the hip hop scene:
I live and breath hip hop. Emerge Clothing has gotten me connected
with people all around the world. Music brings people together.
I'm currently working on a mixtape called "Emerge Presents 2 You-The
World Collabo" that features artists from San Francisco,
Montreal, Detroit, Netherlands and Texas. My goal for this
tape is to bring people together to help each other come up.
Influences: Eminem, KRS
One, Busta Rhymes , Dr.Dre, Gangsta rr
, The Cure ( for being the best band to ever surface on this planet)
, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Ice Cube, 2Pac, Lupe Fiasco, Snoop Dogg,Will
Smith and Jazzy Jeff ( Will Smith really doesn’t deserve all that
dissin'), Fugees, Jay Z, Notorious BIG, The Roots, Blackstarr,Wu-Tang
Clan and Kanye West. Lately I’ve been inspired by the artists I’m
involved with, especially Mc Eternal and Mixwell. Their lyrics gives
me a boost of energy and a hope that they will succeed big
time. Working with:
I'm working with the king of Detroit , soon to conquer the world
hopefully, The 10 (ha,ha!), Mc Eternal, Mixwell, Clay, Delario, Paul
Bernard, Phatcutz, TQ, Akeron, TonnaBrix, Mom’s Rebels,Tor,

the tape as well. Im still waiting on tracks from Devin the Dude,

Check out what went down at one of the
local tributes to the late great
J Dilla.
 The
local press had a field day portraying
Proof as the next
Hannibal Lecter, Read how I feel about the whole
situation.
 Just
because pimps are crossing over into pop culture and hanging
out with your favorite rappers, don't get it twisted,
these
are not entertainers.
DJ Ivory of the P
Brothers hails from
 Nottingham
in the U.K. This hip hop purist has a strong
opinion on hip hop's current state. Check out what he
has to stay. Detroit female author
Valencia
Williams keeps it
 all the
way street with her tales of love, greed and betrayal
based in the hood. I had the opportunity to interview
Valencia and she had some very interesting things to say.
For all my grown folks who know of my
 reputation
for being involved in some freaky sh#t, don't worry. I
didn't forget about you. I'm going to crank up the heat
on the adult section. Of course we've got the interview
and pics of porn star Adina Jewel with much more to come.
Children, you must be 18 or older to enter the
adult area.
