First single 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 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’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.
