Empire MC's

Empire MC's formed around 2013 as a collective centered on the rapper Ghostemane. The group included members like Ricky Rabid, Getter, and JGRXXN, working together on a sound that mixed hip-hop with trap and experimental electronic elements. They built an early following through mixtapes and live shows in underground venues.

Their track "Flow Ghostemane" gives a sense of their style, with Ghostemane's dark lyrical approach drawing both attention and criticism. The group's performances sometimes leaned into provocative territory, which kept them a polarizing presence even as their audience grew.

Other songs like "Função," "Jade," and "Saudades" show the range of their output, though the collective's activity appears to have been concentrated in the mid-2010s. The music they made together remains a specific snapshot of that underground moment.
