Who R The EMC Boyz? As a unit, they are officially known as the EMC Boyz, a collection of rappers, singers and in-house producers from the Empirical Music Company label. Members include Ruger, Lunacie, Darcsage, Rame, Blaze One, Ben Dillan, Doe Boy The Official, Bigg-H & Bullet Beatz. Three of the members (Ruger, Darcsage & Ben Dillan) grew up in the same neighborhood in Oakland, while the others knew each other from high school and from around the way. It started with Rugers album The Commencement in 2003 which presented an array of club, street & jazzy tracks. Along with Rugers deep personal thoughts, his raw and solid vocals (he wont admit it but the cat can sing too), this was an introduction to the versatility the label would bring (not your regular Hip-Hop/Rap label).
During that time, Ruger brought Ben Dillan & Darcsage to the studio to collaborate. Darcsage had been making beats since his teen years and his style varied from Hyphy to Smooth Lounge tracks with lyrics from life experiences to girls to partying. Ben Dillan also made those West Coast G tracks but focused more on his flows and his hustlin lyrical mentality. After a year, Lunacie came to the studio with 3 other MCs and of those 3, Lune was invited back to the studio to record. Lune is a gifted piano player and uses his skills to bring life to tracks with live instrumentations instead of the common sample based shit thats saturating the industry. Soon after that, Lune brought Rame, Bigg-H & Bullet Beatz to the studio and so on and so forth (Bigg-H brought Blaze One, Darcsage brought Doe Boy The Official). The crew creates a menacing and potent soundscape of hardcore beats while still satisfying those who want something smoother. Their lyrical flows range from Hyphy to Partyin to Girls to Hustlin to Lost Homies to Family. Depending on the beat, depending on the moment.
After recording throughout 2005, the EMC Boyz had enough material to release their first commercial album EMC Presents : Underground Disciples, Vol. 1. Their impressive work on Underground Disciples, Vol. 1 featured the young musicians/MCs racking up achieved notable tracks that caught the attention of a regional fan base and got the label a digital distribution deal with IODA (iTunes, Rhapsody, emusic, SonyConnect, Yahoo!Music, AOL Music, Amazon.com). From head-knockin, club tracks like We Dont Give A F**k, Thugged Out to ready for radio tracks like Oh Bay-Bay, Burnin Up; West Coast songs like California, How Da Bay Do, Ridahz & Hittaz to teasing tracks like I Told Juhthey also keep it serious and truthful in tracks like Take This Pain. With the help of the internet, the EMC Boyz were able to reach fans on a broader base including Mexico, Japan, the U.K. & Australia.
The Underground Disciples album also paved the way for key deals with Movaya Wireless (ringtones), HavocTV, Digital Jukebox companies, Compilations, Licensing companies and background music providers. Next time you see a Jukebox search for the EMC Boyz or next time youre shopping, eating at a restaurant or working out at a fitness club, dont be surprised if you hear an EMC Boyz song in the background. The stage had been set for the EMC Boyz and its members to begin working on their solo careers.
