Supergroup EMC set to release "The Show" digitally Feb. 26th, CD March 25th
Hip-hop's latest 'supergroup' comprised of legendary Juice Crew member Masta Ace, Punchline & Wordsworth, and Stricklin, known collectively as EMC, are set to release their debut album "The Show" digitally on February 26th. The CD will hit stores a month later on March 25th.
"The Show" will be released on M3 Records and distributed by Traffic Entertainment.
The foursome became extremely close while touring together in 2001, and their fans recognized the chemistry onstage right away.
“The group idea was a natural progression of the relationships we all made from being on the road together,” says Ace. “It’s not just about the music with us, we are pretty much like brothers.”
The release of their highly acclaimed single “E.M.C” in 2007 set the stage for “The Show.” The album features appearances from Sean Price, Little Brother, Ladybug Mecca (of Digable Planets) and Money Harm (of Product G & B), with production from The Are, Ayatollah, Nicolay, Koolade, Quicy Tones, Frequency, and J.
“EMC is a movement and hip-hop should get ready for something really special,” says Stricklin. “It’s about to be a problem!”
