Emo arrived in town with the band Take Note, led by the energetic Nur Abrahams and the ever popular stand-up comedian and MC Wayne McKay.
In the show Emo told how he grew up in Mitchell's Plain and eventually ended up on stage.
He shared stories of his childhood, growing up with his two brothers Junaid and Luqmaan Adams, his mum and dad - people very close to his heart - sharing pictures on a slide show, which he calls his proof. Proof of who he is and where he came from. He has discovered, with the recent Oscar trial and President Jacob Zuma's Nkandla, that evidence is very important.
He also told of the first time he sang Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika at his high school, Spine Road High School, and met the late Nelson Mandela, who sang the song with him.
All jokes aside, Emo brought a serious aspect to the performance - that people can rise above their circumstances by going out and finding opportunities; not by waiting for them.
After the show fans lined up to have their photos taken with Emo.
