Lil Goosey the new wave of emo rap

Lil Goosey, also known as Immanuel Artemio Ewing, is a 20-year-old alternative rap artist from Norfolk, Virginia. Riding high off of the success of his first project, The Eternal Dark Void, Goosey is poised for a bright future in music and is already focused on longevity. With over 67,000 streams to date and co-signs from artists like KillBunk and Lil Lotus, Lil Goosey is ready to take over the east coast music scene and beyond. Lil Goosey’s passion for music lies within the artist name he goes by. “Goosey” was the rap name that his father went by before his untimely passing. To honor his dad, the rising Norfolk-born artist took on the name Lil Goosey.

“I was going through really bad relationship problems and anxiety. I always wanted to help people through my music.”

After falling in love with the art of music at 16, Lil Goosey decided to take rapping more seriously and pursue the rockstar lifestyle. Now, at 20, Goosey uses music mostly to relate to his fans and help get himself and others through tough times. He’s concentrated on presenting the best quality art to his fanbase and won’t settle for anything less.

“Heartbreaker” is the next single off of Goosey’s highly regarded project The Eternal Dark Void. The Norfolk artist strategically uses auto-tune to add vibrancy to his catchy delivery. Zeroing in on the lyrics, Goosey raps about leaving his past girl behind and not wanting to hear from her when things start going his way. At the very least, Heartbreaker’s melody will be stuck in your head for the rest of the year. If you enjoyed this single, you should definitely check out the full project. With somewhat of an Emo Rap feel, Lil Goosey shows off his versatility combining influences from Three Days Grace, Lil Peep, Papa Roach, Juice Wrld, and more.
