[edit] Background
While it was originally rumored that Ace had retired from music after the release of his acclaimed 2004 concept album A Long Hot Summer, the following year the veteran had formed the new collective with his protege, Milwaukee rapper Strick, and revered underground lyricists Punch & Words. The four had previously collaborated on numerous albums and tracks, and toured extensively as a collective.
Like Ace's previous albums, A Long Hot Summer and Disposable Arts, The Show will be a thematic concept album that tells a story. The album's story follows a day in the life of eMC doing a show on the road. [1] Album guests include Little Brother and Sean Price. Producers confirmed for the project include Ayatollah, Nicolay, Marco Polo, Koolade, The ARE, Frequency and Quincy Tones.
[edit] Singles
The first official eMC track, the Ayatollah-produced "Four Brothers", was released in 2006. A music video for the song was released online on December 10, 2006, however, this track was not included on the album. Music videos were released for "What it Stand For" and "Leak It Out" as well.
[edit] Sales
The album has sold 1,091 copies in its opening week.[1]
