The hip hop group reveals that battling in their [cont.]
To use a cliché, Masta Ace is like a fine wine. As with the best that the bottle has to offer, he has become better with age. Most emcees of his era have steadily declined, usually coasting on their name and past merits, and lacking the ability to create anything relevant, choose good production, and [cont.]

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.” [cont.]
Hip Hop super-group eMC announces the release of their forthcoming EP The Turning Point via M3/Penalty Entertainment/RED on May 20.

Chances are, if you’re unconcerned (to a certain extent) about whom ‘they’ say is hot in hip-hop, you will have enough sensibilities to automatically detect a true emcee from the ones that are glorified via the mass media push. Whether humble or brash, true talent, just like how it’s similarly possessed by the varying flashy [cont.]
It’s amazing that there has never been a solo release from an artist as talented as Wordsworth. He’s made a name for himself by collaborating with the finest emcees in the underground, not to mention his days freestyling on MTV’s Lyricist Lounge. After almost six years of hype and anticipation, Wordsworth has finally completed [cont.]

What inspired me to write “Trust” was my daughter Donae being born. As a father or even [cont.]

Even gracing both Lyricist Lounge compilation albums, as well as MTV’s Lyricist Lounge television show, the question remains as to why we haven’t seen any 12″ singles or full-length releases [cont.]
