Tekashi69 Wiretap Reveals Shooting Threats From Ex-Crew Members

Tekashi69 was in mortal danger just before he got arrested for racketeering charges, and the feds say they have the proof on tape.

The feds wiretapped several ex-members of Tekashi's crew and the transcript -- obtained by TMZ -- is pretty damming ... including a convo about "feeding" Tekashi after his appearance on "The Breakfast Club." Prosecutors believe "feed" means unloading bullets.

One of the taps was on Jamel Jones -- gang name, Mel Murda -- a former member of 6ix9ine's inner circle, who is now behind bars.
During the convo, Jones says, "[Tekashi] is trying to dry snitch at the same time, homie. But he keep saying, f*** Treway, f*** that n****, Treyway. Ain't no n****, Treway. F*** Treway."
Tekashi's former manager Kifano Jordan, aka Shotti, responds with laughter and says, "Imma feed him though."

TMZ broke the story ... Tekashi was busted earlier this month on racketeering charges and prosecutors believed Tekashi was in danger of getting shot. The transcripts -- which refer to Tekashi by his birth name, Daniel Hernandez -- seem to graphically describe the danger.
Tekashi's former crew members were also recorded saying how Tekashi tried to separate himself from the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods after firing his entire staff. The feds recorded an unnamed crew member saying, "That's cool. Now he gotta get violated."
Jones replied, "Yeah, super violated. Super duper. Ain't no much he could really do unless he run around with 100 armed securities all day."
The wiretap transcript was included in a government filing requesting Jones remain locked up until his trial, because he's a "significant danger" to the community.

The Turning Point EP - Release Date: May 20, 2014



The Turning Point EP
Release Date: May 20, 2014


Formed in 2007, eMC is comprised of four lyricists including the Milwaukee born phenom Stricklin, the widely respected NYC duo and “Lyricist Lounge” emcees Punchline & Wordsworth and the legendary Brooklyn bred and former Juice Crew member Masta Ace.




“Often, these dream collaborations have exceedingly high expectations that are unlikely to get met anyway…. But with its collective veteran sensibility, experience from previous collaborations and the guidance of Ace, eMC makes it happen.”
Hip Hop DX

“… eMC, which calls itself a "supergroup"; many critics would concur.”
Pitchfork

“…these gents show that they have the skills and chemistry to craft a cohesive song”
The Smoking Section

“Really talented group of artists here!”
Hip Hop Dependency

Hip-Hop Super-group eMC To Release Forthcoming EP The Turning Point on May 20 via M3/Penalty Entertainment

Listen/Share First Single "Charly Murphie"


  

April 16, 2014 (New York, NY) – Hip Hop Super-group eMC announces the release of their forthcoming EP The Turning Point via M3/Penalty Entertainment/RED on May 20. Formed in 2007, eMC is comprised of four lyricists including the Milwaukee born phenom Stricklin, the widely respected NYC duo and “Lyricist Lounge” emcees Punchline & Wordsworth and the legendary Brooklyn-bred and former Juice Crew member Masta Ace.

The Turning Point will be available for pre-order on May 6, and fans who purchase the EP in advance will receive the lead single “Charly Murphie” as an instant grat track on iTunes.  Produced by Detroit's own 14KT and featuring Agallah Don Bishop (8-Off the Assassin), “Charlie Murphie” is eMC's antithesis response to the current trend of radio friendly songs being named after famous individuals. Masta Ace explains “ Charly Murhpie epitomizes the hardcore, aggressive, punch in the nose mentality which is a stark contrast to those other songs.” 


In various skits, The Turning Point takes the listener through the group’s decision to record a new album after almost 6 years.  Reminiscent of John Belushi's character in “The Blues Brothers,” Masta Ace calls each member asking them if they are interested in reuniting. The result is a 6-song offering with stand out tracks “Stay Busy” featuring and produced by newcomer Pav Bundy, and “Verified” featuring Birmingham England sensation Lady Leshurr. The title track “Turning Point” features east coast crooner Range Da Messenga, as well as production from UK's very own Quincey Tones.

eMC will release the video for “Charlie Murphie” next month and plans to tour the US and Europe this summer, as well as Canada later this year. 



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE BIOGRAPHY OF eMC:

Great rhymes plus great beats equals great music! This is the formula that any hip-hop artist truly dedicated to their craft should choose to live by. The hip-hop world is constantly looking for a breath of fresh air. Well hip-hop fans need to look no further. Take a deep breath, inhale and become intoxicated by the sounds of the super-group eMC!

Formed in 2007, eMC is comprised of four spectacular lyricists: the Milwaukee born phenom Stricklin, the widely respected NYC duo and “Lyricist Lounge” emcees Punchline & Wordsworth and the legendary Brooklyn-bred, former Juice Crew member Masta Ace.

The Wisconsin native Stricklin made noise in the late 90’s when he was signed to Tommy Boy Records and was featured on several of the labels releases. Punchline & Wordsworth released an EP in 2000 and were both integral in the success of the groundbreaking MTV program “The Lyricist Lounge Show”. Wordsworth would later release a solo LP in 2004 entitled “Mirror Music”. These three talented artists obviously caught the ear of Masta Ace because he went on to feature them all on two of his own albums.

What makes this group so special is that its formation spawned as a result of the request of the fans. Having toured extensively with Ace since 2001, Stricklin, Punchline, and Wordsworth all became very close after realizing how natural their chemistry together was. The fans recognized this chemistry as well and often asked if there was a group album planned in the future. Well in 2008 that question was answered emphatically when the quartet released their critically acclaimed debut album “The Show” on M3/Traffic Entertainment.

“The Show” was an instant classic among hip-hop purists around the world and it's great reception lead to eMC being established as one of the elite groups within the underground rap realm. After three years of extensive touring from 2006-2008, the group's members branched off to re-establish their solo careers. Punchline released his powerful debut album “Underground Superstar” with Germany's own DJ Soul Clap in 2012. The brilliant Wordsworth dropped his second solo effort “The Photo Album” in June of 2012. Masta Ace teamed up with rap veteran Edo G in 2009 to release “Arts & Entertainment” followed by an album released in 2012 dedicated to his late mother entitled “Son of Yvonne” which featured songs exclusively written over MF DOOM beats.

Finally, the Four Brothers have reunited with their new EP “The Turning Point”, which is set to be released on M3/Penalty Entertainment/Sony Red in the spring of 2014. Prompted by a phone call from Penalty Entertainment's CEO Neil Levine, this six song offering takes the listener through the group members' decision to do a new album after almost 6 years. Reminiscent of John Belushi's character in “The Blues Brothers”, Masta Ace calls each group member one by one asking if they are interested in getting together once more. The EP serves as a precursor to their full length LP scheduled to be released later this year.

The lead off single “Charly Murphie”, which has very little to do with the famous actor/comedian brother of Eddie Murphy, features Agallah Don Bishop (8-Off the Assassin) and stands as eMC's reaction to the current trend of radio friendly songs named after famous individuals. Masta Ace explains, ”There are so many of these songs out there named after famous people and most of them aren't any good.  Charly Murphie, produced by Detroit's own 14KT, epitomizes the hardcore, aggressive, punch in the nose mentality which is a stark contrast to those other songs.  Who are you taking in a fight Justin Bieber or Charlie Murphy?”

The “Charly Murphie” single and video hit the internet on iTunes in early April and are part of a brilliantly produced EP full of stand out songs including “Stay Busy”, produced by and featuring talented new comer Pav Bundy, “Verified” featuring the Birmingham, England female sensation, Lady Leshurr and the the title track “Turning Point” featuring east coast crooner Range Da Messenga as well as production from UK's very own Quincey Tones.

This EP will have eMC's core fans salivating for the full length album which will consist of 12-14 additional tracks. Their first tour rolls out this May with a trip to Europe and the group expects to tour in the states, Canada and possibly Australia before closing out the end of this year.

SOUL TEMPLE RECORDS RELEASES NEW MUSIC FROM GHOSTFACE KILLAH & ADRIAN YOUNGE   “ENEMIES ALL AROUND ME” features William Hart of the DELFONICS


TWELVE REASONS TO DIE AVAILABLE APRIL 16

New York, NY (March 12, 2013) – Soul Temple Records has released, as a free download, the track “Enemies All Around Me” featuring William Hart of The Delfonics. This song is fromthe new album Twelve Reasons To Die by Ghostface Killah and composer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Adrian Younge.
Adrian Younge’s full-length collaborative album with William Hart, Adrian Younge Presents The Delfonics was also released today via Wax Poetics Records.  Adrian and his band, Venice Dawn (along with Special Guests) are performing tonight at Le Poisson Rouge in New York City, before embarking for their March 14th performance with Ghostface Killah at SXSW in Austin TX.
Twelve Reasons To Die, a groundbreaking concept album conceived and created by Younge that follows Tony Starks (one of Ghostface’s alter egos), as a soldier for the 12 Delucas, a 1960’s-era Italian crime family. But when Starks leaves the family, an epic story unfolds like a vintage horror film with gangster elements. It’s a gritty story of good versus evil that walks the line of the supernatural accented by Ghostface’s grandiose, vivid storytelling.
The album will be available in various configurations including a standard CD, a deluxe double CD with instrumentals and a mini comic book, plus a digital deluxe version with instrumentals and digital comic book, multiple vinyl formats and a cassette.  The album, including limited edition deluxe bundles, is available for pre-order at soultemplemusic.bandcamp.com.
