Who is EM Lengten ?
During my days living in Jukulyn, I had the pleasure of meeting a lot of talented individuals. It is inspiring how a place filled with adversity produces individuals that are outstanding and Em Lengten is one of them.
He is not that hard to miss, the way he dresses is unique. Some of the clothes he wears he has designed himself which is one of his creative outlets. I cannot recall when exactly I met him but I can remember when he caught my attention. We were chilling at New Park, which is a park in the neighborhood where we usually hang out, and he played me one of his songs.
The song's content was about hustling and having pride in your work titled "Wira Byang" - which translates to "What are going to do?".
What is unique about Em Lengten is that he is engaging with his audience on social media. I try as much to emulate him because what he is doing is key to growing a community online.
