The Show is the upcoming debut album by Hip Hop supergroup eMC, which consists of rappers Masta Ace, Punchline, Wordsworth and Stricklin. While it was originally rumored that Ace had retired from music after the release of his acclaimed 2004 concept album A Long Hot Summer, the following year the veteran had formed the new collective with his protege, Milwaukee rapper Stricklin, and revered underground lyricists Punchline & Wordsworth. The four had previously collaborated on numerous albums and tracks, and toured extensively as a collective.
The Show will be a thematic concept album that tells a story. The album's story follows a day in the life of eMC doing a show on the road. The first official eMC track, the Ayatollah-produced "Four Brothers", was released in 2006. A music video for the song was released online on December 10, 2006. Album guests will include Little Brother and Sean Price, and a tentative appearance from Slick Rick. Producers confirmed for the project include Ayatollah, Marco Polo, Koolade, Frequency and Quincy Tones. Producers rumoured to be involved in the project include DJ Premier and Nicolay.
The second single "What It Stand For" (produced by Nicolay) was released on July 7, 2007. It can be downloaded for free on the group's Myspace page at
www.myspace.com/emcthegroup. Confirmed tracks on the album are "Four Brothers" , "Traffic" (feat. Little Brother) , "Get Some" (feat. Sean Price) , "Beware" (feat. Queen Herawin) , "What It Stand For".
The Show is set to be released later this year!

Wie auf den meisten Songs fällt es Dougie auch hier schwer seine Aussagen in stilvolle Worte zu kleiden, auffällig inflationär tauchen die Worte "Niggaz" und "Bitches" auf. Wer damit Schwierigkeiten hat, der wird wahrscheinlich überhaupt keinen Zugang zu diesem Longplayer finden.
