Emerson Kennedy

Hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah, Asaad Salleh, better known by his stage name Emerson Kennedy, is an American battle rapper, MC, and filmmaker. While he mainly sticks to recording and producing music, he has been hailed as one of the best and most creative writers on the battle scene. He made his battling debut on the Utah-based Mic Masters battle league in January 2012, against Playboi Short. These days, Emerson has moved up to battling on bigger leagues like AHAT and URL, and he’s made waves battling big names such as Daylyt, Danny Myers, and Ah Di Boom.

In addition to battling, Emerson has released music under the name EMRSN. Since 2020, he cofounded Last Second Sea, a film studio based in Utah and Los Angeles, where he has been working as a filmmaker and an actor under his real name.
