Chicago-based emcee, producer, poet and dancer Emcee Monte delivers an old-school-influenced album which doubles-up as the soundtrack to his concept-driven concert based around Hip-Hop’s history.
Paying homage to pioneers such as Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, and the Rock Steady Crew, whilst also offering a respectful nod to the likes of Common, Nas, Slum Village and others, “Jammin’…” celebrates the incredible culture which has had such a huge impact on so many over the years. - Ryan Proctor
“Rock Steady” is a funky new genre-bending single by Emcee Monte. He flawlessly blends old school funk with contemporary hip-hop and precise rhymes. The melody and rhythm has us instantly addicted to this catchy new single. “Rock Steady” is a motivational anthem that sets Emcee Monte apart in the music industry in a big way. He lets the listener see his inner thoughts and feelings from a new perspective. It’s admirable for an artist to be able to let his listeners connect with him on a personal level. I think “Rock Steady” is a track that everyone can vibe and relate to. I highly recommend you check it out and stay on the lookout for Emcee Monte and his future musical endeavors.
