Emoney is helping A’s fans “lead-off” the season “with a solo shot” by releasing the much anticipated ‘We Here’ music video.

The video features many Athletics fans who happily participated in the video shoot by dancing around Emoney as he raps his verses. Radio personality Chris Townsend is presented in the video as well as Stomper, the team mascot, and the Banjo Man.

“I’ve been waiting since the day we shot this video for it to release,” Emoney said in a recent phone interview I did with the rapper. “It mixes the magic of last year with the excitement of this 2013 season.”

The music video was shot in the O.co Coliseum parking lot before game 3 of the ALDS against the Detroit Tigers. Emoney planned on releasing the video during the ALCS if the Athletics advanced but since they didn’t, he decided that opening day would be a perfect time to release the video.

“It’s going to bring a spark to the Athletics fan base,” Emoney said.

If you want to be refreshed on the history of this song you can get all of the information on it from a previous article I wrote back on October 5, just click here.

]]> The Oakland Athletics’ season has been magical.  It is nearly impossible to explain what really is “happening in Oakland.” For a team that was expected to lose 100 games, they have defied all odds and have made the playoffs for the first time since 2006.  A’s fans are able to say, once again, “We Here.”

Rapper Emoney, who happens to be a close friend of mine, has made an Oakland Athletics tribute song that perfectly portrays the magic of the A’s season.  The song is not your typical tribute song about a team; it bleeds the knowledge of a true fan.  Oakland Athletics pitcher Jerry Blevins recognized the hard work of rapper Emoney’s song when he tweeted the link for fans to enjoy.

The song has gained much deserved attention since being tweeted by Jerry Blevins.  ”We Here” has been played on 95.7 The Game’s radio station multiple times and getting called “the official song of the Oakland A’s” by their radio host Chris Townsend.  If you are an Oakland Athletics fan you must hear this song.
