.. About This Release .......................................
: :
: For someone who has just become the first New Zealand :
: female MC to release an album, Emcee Lucia sure took :
: her time. The 30-year-old dabbled in hip-hop for nine :
: years before she decided she was ready to record On the :
: Cusp, a fresh, melodic trip through sweet vocals, :
: laidback rhymes and soulful, jazzy production. :
: :
: It took a year to finish as she tried to fit studio :
: time around her day job working at K Rd eatery Verona. :
: Then there were the frustrating few days she spent :
: trying to convince Scribe to join her. "I spent about a :
: week going, 'Do you want to be on this track?' and he's :
: like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah' and it took ages. In the end I :
: was like, 'Forget it'." :
: :
: Scribe, who has since become local hip-hop's biggest :
: star, eventually turned up to the studio to do his bit :
: for the fiery, guitar-fuelled track The Deal. But of :
: the nine tunes on the album, bFM listeners will :
: probably recognise the Sisters Underground-style :
: Subscribe 2 Me and All this Time, bittersweet numbers :
: that combine her ability to rap with singing. :
: :
: A year ago she didn't even know she could sing. "It's :
: kind of scary getting out there, being a female. All :
: the times I've been to open mic nights and seen all the :
: guys there and thought, 'Oh my god!' :
: :
: "Also, getting myself out there and being open for :
: people to criticise. But you get over that. I had to :
: get over the procrastinating, think, don't be scared :
: and just have faith in myself." :
: :
: Not that Lucia Ablett is lacking in attitude. It's what :
: fuels her. "I've always got a bit of attitude, even at :
: work or in the studio. I'm just me. If I'm recording :
: I'll have to take myself back to the time when I wrote :
: it. It gives me the attitude to be able to record it. :
: You've got to have the attitude when you rhyme, you've :
: got to feel it." :
