E-Man Bates

E-Man Bates is an up and coming Emcee from Canton, MI. He is known around the Detroit area for his high energy, crowd pleasing performances and by having the ability to cross many genres seeming easily while trying to find his place in the scene. E-Man began writing music at the age of 15 just for fun and at the time he really didn't think much of it, by the time he turned 19 he decided to pursue a career in the music industry after working with high school friend and fellow NDX team member, "J reid".
Due to many influences in his music, such as ( Outkast, Kanye west, Nirvana, Nas, and more) He splits off his music into two separate categories, the D.O.R(Dream Over Reality) side which is a style that's more of a inspirational, more lyrical and poetic type of hip hop, and the I.H.R.S( Ignorant Hood Rat Stuff) Which are more of a party, fun type songs that you would hear at nightclubs or on the radio. In 2012, E-Man linked up with a local rock group out of Plymouth, MI named "Adelaide" and began to perform shows around the state of Michigan. The had performed at such venues as, Bullfrog lounge, Plymouth Roc, Woodruff's and many more around the area.
Currently at the age of 23, E-Man Bates is working on an EP entitled "Wildcard Weekend" and planning to line up more performance dates the year.
