Emma Lee M.C. & Roccwell ft. Bahamadia "Cravings & Withdrawals" (Retrogott Remix)


 























The underground hit single "Cravings & Withdrawals" by Emma Lee M.C. & Roccwell featuring Gang Starr Foundation member Bahamadia (taken off the critically acclaimed mini-album "Chocolate Bars" released on Ill Adrenaline Records, 2024), gets the remix treatment by none other than legendary German MC, producer, DJ, and author Retrogott. Currently the single is a digital release with plans of a limited edition 7" vinyl release on the way.
The original track has already made massive waves in the indie hop-hop scene, topping the HipHopGods Radio charts. Emma Lee M.C. even appeared as a guest on Roxanne Shante's "Have a Nice Day" radio show on Sirius XM/Rock the Bells Radio to further promote "Chocolate Bars" and her new book "Y'All (Not) Gon' Make Me Lose My Mind: Notes from a Hip-Hop Unicorn & Suicide Survivor". Retrogott, known for his pivotal role in shaping Germany's hip-hop landscape, enhances the track's jazzy vibes with hard-hitting drums and a true golden era sound. While Roccwell's soulful production laid the foundation, Retrogott adds his own authentic flavor, combining vintage influences with his unique style to give "Cravings & Withdrawals" a timeless, underground feel. With this remix, "Chocolate Bars" continues to resonate with hip-hop aficionados, bridging the gap between modern and classic hip-hop sounds.

ArOzA Crew "Let 'Em Have It" (prod. by Flip)


 























The ArOzA crew returns powerfully with their new song "Let 'Em Have It". The instrumental comes from none other than Flip from Texta, who created the perfect foundation for the crew's energetic vocals with his typical '90s boom-bap beat.


"Let 'Em Have It" combines nostalgic old-school charm with the 
unmistakable dynamism of the ArOzA Crew. The driving beat and the rousing rhymes make the track a homage to the golden era of hip-hop and at the same time a statement for today's scene.



This song is a must not only for fans of classic boom bap, but also for anyone who appreciates honest, powerful rap.
