Although the hip-hop group eMC didn't officially come together until 2005, after <a href="spotify:artist:1wo9h8DP7M0M1orKuGZgWv">Masta Ace</a> had released his Long Hot Summer LP and was rumored to be in retirement, the four had been working together since 2001, when Punchline and <a href="spotify:artist:6de0XwbJtLyirUZUqte7aD">Wordsworth</a> (also known as Punch & Words) and Stricklin (originally from Milwaukee) appeared on <a href="spotify:artist:1wo9h8DP7M0M1orKuGZgWv">Ace</a>'s 2001 album, Disposable Arts, also spending time touring with the veteran rapper. They had no formal idea of forming a group, however, until they read (unfounded) rumors about it happening on message boards and realized it would actually be a good idea. EMC then spent the next few years recording their debut full-length, The Show, with plans to release it in March 2008 on <a href="spotify:artist:1wo9h8DP7M0M1orKuGZgWv">Masta Ace</a>'s own label, M3 Records, though, much to their chagrin, the album was leaked two months ahead of the street date. ~ Marisa Brown, Rovi
