NEW
YORK, Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Asanteworks
PR is excited to announce the release of the debut album "Chocolate
Bars" releasing October 4, 2024 via
Ill Adrenaline Records on CD and vinyl formats via
Fatbeats and HHV Records, and streaming via major digital
platforms. This debut collaboration by Harlem, New York City raised, Ugandan born,
award-winning Hip-Hop creative EMMA LEE
M.C. and decorated German
producer Roccwell is a potent offering of globally
creative proportions. Merging her bold, flowful vocals and
piercingly imaginary lyricism with his smooth, classic,
world-renowned "Boom Bap" production over seven tracks, the two who
met during a pandemic aimed to stifle their artistry have used the
"new normals" as opportunity to create new energy, tell new stories
and re-balance tastes in the culture.
On the lead single and music video for "Like It's 93"
featuring Masta Ace, listeners are
treated to a unique twist on nostalgia when a loving but
dysfunctional relationship with Hip-Hop is described using 49
classic rap album titles all released in the year 1993. The
follow-up single "Cravings & Withdrawals" with Bahamadia holds
its own as one of the smoothest rap duets put to wax in a long
time. The dream duo of generational talents unapologetically pours
onto the track, elevating its adaptation of classic jazzy neo-soul
R&B to ask whether listeners are "craving something real?" The
"Chocolate Bars" album stays true to its rooted theme and musical
twists in concept, choice of instruments, variation, undeniable
lyricism, sounds and messaging. It creates both curiosity and
satisfaction and leaves music lovers surely wanting more.
Emilia A. Ottoo aka EMMA LEE M.C. rounds out a year of pivotal debut
projects with Hip-Hop legends as the "Chocolate Bars" album follows
the release of her first book published by 4x NY Times bestseller
Wahida Clark, entitled "Y'all (Not)
Gon' Make Me Lose My Mind: Notes from a Hip-Hop Unicorn &
Suicide Survivor" with foreword written by Pharoahe Monch. Released
during Mental Health Awareness Month, its focus on mental health
and the intersections of Hip-Hop culture across industries has
garnered much attention from legends like Roxanne Shante and Ralph
McDaniels, as well as journalists, book influencers,
nonprofits, libraries, colleges, and conferences worldwide. She has
since collaborated for education and content with significant
organizations in the field, namely Silence the Shame, Mental Health
First Aid by the National Council on Mental Wellbeing, and the
American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
