[AUDIO] Wordsworth - “Reach” [Produced By Dave Notti]

Posted 8 years, 7 months, 3 days, 19 hours, 45 minutes ago

FINALLY! Some brand-new newness from longtime QN5-affiliate and current EMC-member Wordsworth. Words has been laying low since the release of his debut album Mirror Music, touring with EMC (w/ Masta Ace, Punchline & Strick), while steadily murdering the booth in preparation of his next (as of yet) untitled follow-up. He was kind enough to drop this off in our inbox to let y’all know that he’s indeed back and that he’s indeed not fucking around with you.

Never one to pat himself on the back in public, so we’ll do it for him. Wordsworth is hands down one of the best lyricists to have EVER touched a pen. Granted the man hasn’t sold millions of units, and his plain-spoken delivery won’t earn him any Onyx fans, but his ability to make wordplay his bitch is the stuff of legend. The fact of the matter remains that, all your favorite flavor-of-the-month punchline rappers owe this man a debt of gratitude for his pioneering work on the Lyricist Lounge albums alone. With that said, peep words getting a little target practice in on this Dave Notti produced head-nodder.

Enjoy!

For how long he’s been around, I’ve always answered his name when people ask who is the most underrated emcee. When they say, “who is that?” , they prove my point.

Mirror Music is one of my fav albums. He’s a lyricist’s lyricist. The more music he can put out, the better for the genre.

I love Wordsworth and eMC. As far as a tour goes, what tour? I have searched multiple times for details on their touring schedule over the past few years, but dudes have not exactly stepped up their internet promotion game. Their myspace page is totally out of date (whose isn’t?) and their website is currently down but even when it’s been up I haven’t seen many tour dates, if they’re there at all.

I wanna see them, and I’ve been trying! If I can’t find info directly on their website it’s unlikely I’ll hear about it at all, considering that I know lots of people who are familiar with Wordsworth and Masta Ace but when I say eMC they’re all “who??”

I follow Ace on twitter but he doesn’t spend a lot of time promoting eMC, which I’m sure is intentional…

Great to hear more from this guy. I was blessed to go see EMC when they were ending their euro-tour, late 2007 in Denmark.

Jill, they generally tour in Europe as far as I know. So unless you wanna hit up Prague or some shit… American promoters are a bunch of wussies.

New Wordsworth is deffinitely the best news I’ve gotten in a while!
Mirror Music was an instant classic for me (we’re talkin’ after the very first spin!) - there are very few albums that i can say that about..
Thanks for the update!

Promptly copped Mirror Music after that one WQN5 episode where Words made a guest appearance (speaking uvvvvvv…haha, kidding)

Loved it. Glad dude is still getting it done.

A track of his played randomly on my iPod the other day, nice to hear something new from the guy. Digging this track.

hahah Yeah man. I know. I’d love to rent out a radio studio, cause it’s a massive pain in the ass to record those things and then edit them with all the tracks and shit. I’d rather it all be compressed and mixed live on the fly with an mp3 exported at the end. I know there are ways now… but I just haven’t put the time into researching that. If it was easier, there woulda been new podcasts eons ago.

Anyway.. not to sidetrack… but Words is dope.

I hate cliche terms like “underrated”, but I can think of no better way to describe this guy. i remember first hearing his verse on “Twice Inna Lifetime” and being blown away. Mirror Music is one of the greats in the underground, which is saying a lot considering how much raw talent there exists down there. Guy is much more than a witty emcee with clever punchlines, he’s a great storyteller and excellent and evoking emotion too. Will definitely cop his new album.
