Life
Michael Emory Nortey grew up in Hamburg as the son of West African parents. In 2006 Norteys sang for the first time at a school concert. His singing was very well received, so he continued to sing. He then recorded a song with his friend and producer Sinch. Norteys then signed with Illos Label Tracksetters .
In 2007 the singles She is ... and Oh my God were released. This was followed by guest appearances on Afrob , Samy Deluxe , Separate , Ali A $ and Sprachtot . In 2011 Emory released his first EP 0711 . The great success only came through four guest contributions on the Kay One album Prince of Belvedair . Kay One then took him on his tour.
In 2013 Kay One released the album Rich Kidz , which reached number 1 in the German charts. On this album Emory was again represented with numerous guest appearances. As a result, the previously released single Keep Calm (Fuck U) became a mainstream success. It reached number 11 in the German single charts and stayed in the top 100 for 17 weeks. In addition, Emory & Kay One reached number 52 in the single charts with the song I hate it to love you . With Keep Calm (Fuck You) Kay One and Emory appeared in the hit telecast Fernsehgarten on what the German hip-hop scene was ridiculed by parts.
