Oxnard, California emcee Roc 'C' released his 2006 debut All Questions Answered on Stones Throw Records. The Rap album, released on the famed independent Los Angeles label, sported surprising appearances from Glasses Malone, Bizzy Bone and Chino XL.
Almost three years later, Roc returns with The Transcontinental, a complete collaborative project with IMAKEMADBEATS, a production outfit also known to Rah Digga, Steele and Mic Geronimo fans as Nemo. The work, releasing May 19th, is Roc's debut with E1 Records, formerly known as Koch. Despite the move, Stones Throw affiliates Oh No, Lootpack's DJ Romes and Wildchild lend hands. Rapper Big Pooh, Mic Geronimo and Chino XL also appear.
"IMAKEMADBEATS' stellar production and Roc 'C's fierce lyrics combine to start a journey through life, excellence and fun," said one-time Murder Inc producer Jimmy Kendrix.
In related news, another Stones Throw artist also situated a deal with E1. Georgia Anne Muldrow, who released her Olesi EP, along with a string of singles and appearances on Peanutbutter Wolf's imprint, has announced her Someothaship/Epistrophik label, distributed through E1. The label is a joint venture between her and boyfriend Dudley Perkins.
Georgia Anne, daughter of Jazz guitarist Ron Muldrow, is most known for her appearance on Erykah Badu's acclaimed 2008 album, New Amerykah Part One , a Universal Motown release.
Her May 19th release, a compilation of rapping, production and singing titled George Anne Muldrow Presents: Ms. One, features Rapper Big Pooh, Stacy Epps, Black Milk and Dudley Perkins.
