Tha Man Green

Emanuel Green is 21 years old born April 26, 1987 in Deming, New Mexico. Despite having to experience a rough child-hood, Emanuel worked hard and legitimately to overcome many obstacles in his young life. The death of his father, mental unstableness of his mother, and his placement into the foster care system along with his brother was quite an experience for such a young boy. After a shifting of homes he and his brother eventually ended up in the loving home of a family cousin who took them in and raised them as her own.

“I grew up a country boy but was introduced to rap at a rather young age. The first rap song I ever heard was by Crucial Conflict “Smokin on Hay”. I fell in love with rap music but was also introduced to hip-hop and r&b music. Since then I have been pursuing it. Starting out I wasn’t so good; it took time… As I progressed as a song-writer I started using a lot more profanity and my songs started becoming more parental advisory times 2. At that age I shouldn’t of been writing those types of songs, but I was mimicking what I heard at that time. I wasn’t allowed to listen to music with curse words but I snuck a few in with my Will Smith tapes….” Finding his own style to where he became comfortable took a while. Throughout High School he was trying to find himself and his place in the music arena. Nevertheless, he developed a large fan base in his local community and was exposed to the status of a home-town celebrity calling himself M.I.S.T.A. GREEN. The next two years M.I.S.T.A. GREEN would have eventful but unsuccessful endeavors with the music business. Inking a distribution deal right out of High School he saw his first album entitled “GREENCITY” get released worldwide in 2005. Although his music was unique and different the unprofessional sound of the album and the lack of consideration from the label proved to be the album’s downfall. This would turn out to be a learning experience along with other encounters with managers and labels. M.I.S.T.A. GREEN managed to release a self-titled ep “M.I.S.T.A. GREEN” in 2008 with the help of his then manager. The song “NM FIRE” off his ep would end up being played on local mainstream radio for a period of six months. The success of his first song being played on the radio was a great achievement for M.I.S.T.A. GREEN. This ep would lead to M.I.S.T.A. GREEN’S first sales and though they are meager at the time due to the lack of solid promotion he remains optimistic about the future. Entering the new year of 2009 M.I.S.T.A. GREEN got the opportunity to talk to an experienced manager who gave him a revelation in which inspired him to change his approach in the music business and he started reaching out to others for help. It was at this time that “Tha man” formerly known as M.I.S.T.A. GREEN changed his name to “Tha Man Green” . Changing his name gave Emanuel a sense of renewal and a new outlook at his young musical career. Although “THA MAN GREEN” is not your typical ‘street-based’ Hip-Hop Artist with a metropolitan area background, he does have the edge and fire that’s necessary to succeed in the Hip-Hop arena(s). Today, “THA MAN GREEN” has a “new found confidence” which shows in his music and his presentation. He is preparing to write his own story and make his mark in the entertainment industry. “THA MAN GREEN” is coming regardless. Forget what you thought and Focus on what u are hearing right now……”
