The Hip Hop world had long been looking for a breath of fresh air when four legendary
emcees stepped up, together, as EMC. EMC consists of the Midwest phenom Stricklin, the
widely respected Lyricist Lounge duo Punchline & Wordsworth, and the Brooklyn-bred,
battle-tested Juice Crew all-star Masta Ace. The Milwaukee born and raised Stricklin
garnered attention in the late 90s while signed to Tommy Boy Records, and Punch and
Words were integral in the success of the groundbreaking MTV program "The Lyricist
Lounge Show" and have released EP's both as a group and as solo artists. After the three
toured extensively with Ace in 2001, the four became extremely close. Both the rappers
themselves and the fans recognized the chemistry and, according to Masta Ace, "the group
idea was a natural progression of the relationships we had all made from being on the road
together. It wasn't just about the music with us, we are pretty much like brothers."
EMC started a feeding frenzy in 2007 with the release of the 12" single "E.M.C." and the
subsequent 2008 full-length album The Show. With more than 20 tracks and appearances by
Sean Price, Little Brother, Ladybug Mecca (of Digable Planets), DJ Eclipse, and Money Harm
(of Product G & B), The Show satisfied even the most Rap-hungry fan. And while the album
proved to be a showcase of lyrical talents, the beats themselves delivered as well, with
production by Marco Polo, The Are of K-Otix, Ayatollah, Nicolay, Koolade, and more.
Stricklin's personality combined with the cleverness of Punchline, the wordplay and work
ethic of Wordsworth, and the leadership of the Music Man himself Masta Ace, proved to be
a massive success and this sought after album is now back in print and ready to be devoured
by hungry rap fans once again.
