Emilio Rojas - Look Up
Artist: Emilio Rojas
Producer: M-Phazes
Album: Breaking Point
Label: Unsigned
While much of Emilio Rojas’ new album Breaking Point deals with the joys and pains (and, um, pleasures) of dealing with the opposite sex, no project from the hard driving NYC emcee would be complete without some emotionally gripping and fearless selections like the aggressively inspirational Look Up. Frequent production collaborator M-Phazes delivers a cinematic instrumental given its sweetness by a strong piano line and its strength from a pounding drum section, an Inception soundtrack-esque combination only emphasized by Racaodolo’s haunting vocals. That backdrop is set off by Emilio’s narrative rhymes as he chronicles the rise of a young emcee who comes from nothing to defy the doubters and achieve worldwide fame: “Started buzzin and getting press / people callin giving him respect / A&Rs that wanna give him checks / every show he’s signing women’s breasts.” (It may not strictly be an autobiographical story, but it’s not not an autobiographical story.) For more music young emcees can Look Up to and pushes hip-hop to the Breaking Point, be sure to cop Emilio’s new album right now. (My apologies for the puns, I couldn’t help myself.)

I believe this to be the best record on Emilio's new album (whose idea was it to make this track 12!?). If B.o.B had been handed this record we'd all be talking about the rush of radio programmers who added it to their regular rotation. This is everything Rojas should strive to be as an artist. Who else is listening?

I loved the whole project and think this was one of the standouts. It is a hit and he has other on there. Hopefully this project catapults him to where he deserves to be.

I like Emilio's hungry flow on this track. The beat is nice and has a good buildup to it. I'll throw it into rotation. There's a good message to the track too. I like it...

This is definitely my favorite record of this project. I wasn't feelin' the first half of Breaking Point because the beats were as bland as can be, and his subject matter was all too familiar. But this one is a def four stars solid
