Pizzo — Tue, 15 Jul 2014 02:39:33 +0000

From VladTV: “EMC sat down with VladTV to share their favorite battle stories from when they were coming up in the culture, with Masta Ace saying one was from high school when another student and him went back and forth with 50 other students watching them.

The hip hop group reveals that battling in their prime is different than today in terms of the level of disrespect, with Wordsmith saying he doesn’t know if he could battle by today’s standards of over-aggression. However, they recognize that the essence and love of the culture is the same.

Make sure to cop their new EP, “The Turning Point” in stores now.”

eMC – “Charly Murphie”

Pizzo — Wed, 16 Apr 2014 15:35:43 +0000

Hip Hop super-group eMC announces the release of their forthcoming EP The Turning Point via M3/Penalty Entertainment/RED on May 20. Formed in 2007, eMC is comprised of four lyricists including the Milwaukee born phenom Stricklin, the widely respected NYC duo and “Lyricist Lounge” emcees Punchline & Wordsworth and the legendary Brooklyn-bred and former Juice Crew member Masta Ace.

The Turning Point will be available for pre-order on May 6, and fans who purchase the EP in advance will receive the lead single “Charly Murphie” as an instant grat track on iTunes. Produced by Detroit’s own 14KT and featuring Agallah Don Bishop (8-Off the Assassin), “Charlie Murphie” is eMC’s antithesis response to the current trend of radio friendly songs being named after famous individuals. Masta Ace explains “Charly Murhpie epitomizes the hardcore, aggressive, punch in the nose mentality which is a stark contrast to those other songs.”

In various skits,The Turning Point takes the listener through the group’s decision to record a new album after almost 6 years. Reminiscent of John Belushi’s character in “The Blues Brothers,” Masta Ace calls each member asking them if they are interested in reuniting. The result is a 6-song offering with stand out tracks “Stay Busy” featuring and produced by newcomer Pav Bundy, and “Verified” featuring Birmingham England sensation Lady Leshurr. The title track “Turning Point” features east coast crooner Range Da Messenga, as well as production from UK’s very own Quincey Tones.

eMC will release the video for “Charlie Murphie” next month and plans to tour the US and Europe this summer, as well as Canada later this year.
