A-Thug nominated for Emmy for "Invisible" documentary

By BRS Staff

Even when pursuing the same dreams, people take different routes to get what they want. A-Thug wanted complete control for his company and he has it. The downside, however, is he has had to wait on the proper exposure coming for him. But, good things come to those who wait.

Late in 2009, A-Thug (birth name Aaron McBride) participated in a documentary. The documentary was titled "Invisible: the Diaries of New York's Homeless Youth." A-Thug was one of several people featured in the documentary. His story stuck out with many people.

Here was a young man who pulled himself up by the bootstraps and created a solid career rapping. Usually, when a child says they want to rap, people tell them to focus on something attainable. The same things were said to A-Thug, but he turned his career into something he could live off without working a job and now he is enjoying the fruits of his labor.

The documentary was recently nominated for an Emmy and A-Thug is excited about the entire project. The wait has been so long and things are finally panning out and in a major way for him. All of this hype comes as the Black Rolling Stones CEO is recording his next album, The Signature, and recording a few new mixtapes for promotion. The best promotion for his album would be if he could add Emmy Award winner to his list of accomplishments.

Even if the documentary does not win an Emmy, A-Thug and Reciprocity Foundation will be taking home major wins just for being nominated.
