Emurge is the widely bootlegged and unreleased demo album by American hip hop recording artist Hopsin. It is widely believed the project was recorded sometime in 2003 and was not a retail mixtape like other common mixtapes and the project was created for a local audience to create a buzz for the artist who at the time had decided to take rapping seriously. Prior to rapping, Hopsin had appeared as an extra in TV shows such as Malcolm in the Middle and That's So Raven among others. No official physical copies of Emurge have been found or sold online, despite that all songs off Emurge were released officially on YouTube. Throughout the years there have been many fake and misleading mixtapes also titled Emurge with other unreleased material on them. Songs such as "Break It Down" were later featured on Hopsin's official debut studio album Gazing at the Moonlight. This project is widely believed to be Hopsin's demo tape he used to show to various record labels to get mainstream attention.
