Jackson, MS (Top40 Charts/ CAK ) Mississippi born rapper E.L.I. (Empowering Live Instruments), announced today that, his new single "Aint Bout That Life," will release Feb 4, 2014 exclusively distributed via INgrooves/Fontana "UMGD" Universal
Music Group Distribution in association with Wealth Nation Entertainment. He will also embark on an eight city whirlwind tour which begins on the day of the single release. E.L.I., is also the cover story for the January issue of The Hype Magazine, available via print on demand and all digital devices globally.
E.L.I. is the product of a time when the whole world was listening to hip hop; before it began to insist upon itself. E.L.I. represents the voice of the have nots; that struggling voice that has everything to say and nothing to hide.
A young producer as well, he strives for that sound that ceases to be just music, but the moment itself. He holds the righteous seasoning of Southern swag with the amalgamation of East coast influence, along with a transposing ear that plugs right in with any of the 9 instruments that he plays.
Coming behind his successful mixtape project released in
September of 2013 entitled "No Topic Mixtape" hosted by DJ Phingaprint, E.L.I. looks to catapult onto the national stage as a lyrical artist who consciously stays away from the norm and presents his message in a manner which gives attention to listeners visceral needs in regards to hip hop.
