In this episode, Tim sits down with Emma Lee M.C. for an open, honest conversation about growing up in Harlem and the South Bronx, finding her voice, and navigating hip hop as a woman and a true multi-hyphenate. Emma shares how her upbringing, studio experience, and creative inspirations—from Jean Grae to D’Angelo—shaped both her sound and her mindset. We dig into the stories behind her album, Chocolate Bars, including a nod to Spanish Harlem, a deep dive into 1993 as a pivotal year in hip hop, and her thoughts on nostalgia, reinvention, and gatekeeping in the culture. It’s a thoughtful, real discussion about loving hip hop, questioning it, and pushing it forward without losing its soul. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
