DEFINITION OF FRESH

"Hatshepsut" helps set off the electrified beginning of the "Chocolate Bars" debut album by EMMA LEE M.C. and Roccwell with an unexpected edge, haunting synths, and cinematic take on the boom bap drumline. Pairing unbeatable storytelling bars with world class cuts by DJ LP2 of France, the song covertly and creatively illustrates the tale of the first documented woman to successfully rule as pharaoh in ancient Egypt. EMMA LEE M.C. channeling the story in first-person voice is a near perfect metaphor against Roccwell 's dark and broody soundscape, complete with a hook worthy of the gym or the stadium. Like a motivational painting on wax, "Hatshepsut" unapologetically warns doubters to watch the throne, affirming from start to finish that "this is history, baby!"

Second single taken off the Emma Lee M.C. & Roccwell "Chocolate Bars" album (CD/LP/digital), out 10/04/24 on Ill Adrenaline Records . The follow-up single "Cravings & Withdrawals" with Hip Hop legend Bahamadia holds its own as one of the smoothest rap duets put to wax in a long time. As Roccwell riffs the beat like a spacey and jazzy interlude, an elite skill level of emceeing is on display by two generational talents unapologetically pouring onto the track. The dream duo gives us an unbeatable breather during the hooks which are elevated by an adaptation of classic neo-soul R&B, asking whether listeners are "craving something real?" Clever cuts by DJ LP2 once again punctuate the odyssey and are sure to please most music heads.

First single and video taken off the Emma Lee M.C. & Roccwell "Chocolate Bars" album (CD/LP/Digital), out 10/04/24 on Ill Adrenaline Records .  On the lead single “Like It’s 93” featuring Hip Hop legend Masta Ace , listeners are treated to a unique twist on nostalgia. Emma Lee M.C. personifies Hip Hop by lyrically describing a dysfunctional but loving relationship using over 40 classic rap album titles all released in the year 1993, with Masta Ace responding metaphorically in a classic rebuttal.  The track rolls in with a dreamy soundscape over Roccwell 's signature snare drum spine, lifts and waves with Emma Lee M.C. 's softly layered vocals in the hooks, and ends with a sonic collage of reflective cuts by DJ LP2 reminding us why we fell in love with Hip Hop. As mentioned from "Digable Planets to Doggystyle" , this track is a witness and poetic questioning of a pivotal time in music.
