Emilio Rojas - CLose to Me
Artist: Emilio Rojas
Producer: Midnite
Album: Life Without Shame
Label: Unsigned
Ah, dysfunctional relationships. They’re the best. (Except for, you know, functional relationships.) As anyone who’s been following Emilio Rojas’ music knows, the DJBooth Freestyle alum tends to have, shall we say “complicated”, relationships with the ladies, but new single Close to Me might just be his most heartbroken yet. Producer Midnite sets the tone with a piano-driven, live percussion beat that Rojas uses to lace more of the deeply personal flows that have earned him such a loyal following: “[these] hurdles are impossible to walk around, and you’ve been searching through my phone like it’s a lost and found.” Most notably, Emilio throws in the first sung hook I can ever remember hearing from him, and does so more than well enough to stay off my ever growing Rappers Who Really Need to Stop Singing list (cough 50 Cent cough). Well done sir, well done. Fans looking to get closer to Emilio can download his recently released and intriguingly titled mixtape, Life Without Shame, right here and should check out the trailer for his Close to Me video, coming soon.

"Close to Me" shows the growth of an artist who has grown leaps and bounds, both musically and as a man, over the past few years. Emilio displays himself as vulnerable, yet secure. Very few artists show true emotion in their music these days - ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to an exception in the form of this exceptional artist.

I've been on this site for a minute, in fact DJBooth put me on to Emilio Rojas, but have never left a comment. I joined so I could on this song. This is an incredible joint; it has a message, is composed, emotional, raw, well produced, etc. If this song doesn't end up being a big one it is only because of how @*#$! up the industry is these days. Incredible effort.

Lyrically he's pretty nice but his voice has never appealed to me. He sounds kinda nasally and I couldn't deal with it for a whole album. Chorus shows versatility but its kinda Drake-ish though.

Im a big fan of Emilio. I love his previous work. And im really liking this look from him. It shows his different talents. And i respect a artist that can expand his resume. "Close to Me" is a very great record. I like everything from this. His whole take on this is perfect. And i love his quality of lyrics on the verses he spits in this. The chorus is very catchy and makes this a very enjoyable listen. The production from Midnite is very great. I cant wait to see whats next from Emilio. A banger, no doubt. Actually i rate this a 4.5...

Emilio has def. grown as an artist, I didn't think he was capable of appearing on a track like this. He is blatantly so honest on this track,
