EMORY FORBES is #Flyah
Emory Forbes a.k.a. Steven Sutton was born in Baltimore, MD on February 27, 1990. Introduced to the art of hip hop at the age of 12, he soon began to master the freestyle. At the age of 19 Emory Forbes enlisted in the US military and moved to Lompoc CA. It was there where a mutual friend introduced him to legendary producer Reckah (Rex Lee). Together they created Emory's debut project, and one of the best mixtape releases of 2011, "Live From The Bottom", which received high praise from many independent outlets. While still focusing on his music, he began to branch out into theatrical and cinema performance. For much of 2012, Mr. Forbes showed off his acting skills in live stage productions. This artist is so diverse;he can be described as a “renaissance man”.

via a song – all while explaining its mantra and meaning to a new group

The song’s lyrics tell the tale as the track begins, “It’s like everybody want Bugattis and Maybachs – I’m the only rapper in the Prius Mode.”
The single creatively and cleverly compares the efficiency of the
Toyota Prius as a vehicle to Emory’s own artistic diversity and
efficiency.
“Prius Mode” is the first release from Emory’s forthcoming album self-titled, Emory Forbes, which is due out later in 2015. Emory Forbes will be a follow-up to the highly-successful 2011 debut of the mixtape entitled, Live from the Bottom.
Since 2011, Forbes has been working non-stop in the studio on new
material, as well as developing a burgeoning acting career that includes
both theater and cinema. Forbes’ upcoming album will also display his
multi-faceted mix of talents, which include rapping, as well as vocal
performances. The CD will contain several hip-hop based tracks, yet also
some selections of urban and R&B flavored mixes.
Instead of “fronting,” Emory is right out front in the official music video for “Prius Mode.” Makaih Beats produced the single and Steven Q. Speilberg directed
the music video.In “Prius Mode,” Forbes not only takes a few jabs at
some of the overdone thematic hip-hop elements, at the same time, but
also explains why he is different. In the end, the song offers a bit of a
biographical view of Emory and his artistic outlook. It’s been a long
road for this young, rising artist and actor – However, he’s built for
high mileage and durability - after all – he’s in “Prius Mode.”
