FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HOUSTON, Texas — April 28, 2020 — James Edward Shepard, a former football player turned Houston rapper, Eminencee, has released his latest single “The Dark Side” on Spotify.
Shepard’s musical inspiration is to help listeners see the world from a different perspective and find a purpose in life. His previous albums, “Climate,” “Soulsome,” “Elevation,” “Imagination,” and “Temptation” all sought to do this, as well as his custom hashtag, #MakePurposePopular.
“I love words and sounds, so I like to play with words and use them as Legos or Tetris metaphorically. There is passion behind a craft with vision,” said Shepard. “My goal is to promote purpose through hip hop.”
His life story is as unique as his music. Shepard fell into the local Houston gang scene when he was 13. He sold drugs on the street until the age of 20 when he decided to change his life for the better. One thing he’d always dreamed about was playing football, so he befriended two former NFL players who showed him the fundamentals of the game.
After a few years of hard work and a renewed spiritual connection to God, Shepard went from a kid who never played high school sports to a professional athlete. He expanded his perspectives by playing overseas and now wants to share his unique experiences through music.
“I put my views into my music,” he said. “I’m a lyrical bomb threat led by my faith. I touch on a lot of relatable subjects in my rap lyrics.”
