Engage the Enzyme

Grammy-winning artist Young MC, whose voice is recognized throughout the world, and whose lyrics are the stuff that urban myths are made of, will release his new CD, Engage The Enzyme on July 23rd. "As they grow older, my rhymes get better with age, as does wine when it ferments, " muses Young MC. "I feel this is the best record I€ve ever made....I believe it shows people that I€m capable of being edgy and a little harder than previous projects." Engage The Enzyme (Stimulus Records) is Young MC€s most poignant work to date. Featuring 13 tracks plus a bonus hidden track, Young MC stands poised to engage the audience. Retail has reacted strongly to the release, standing behind their fondness for the artist and his work with increased product orders. The debut single, "Stress Test" is currently receiving an enthusiastic response at radio. "It€s about those things that bother me personally and may bother others too -- the state of the rap game, the state of the music business, a bad relationship that has ended - it€˜s most aggressive," explains Young MC. The story is legendary, after signing with Delicious Vinyl Records, Young MC was asked by label honchos to write a rap to the "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina" tracks. His credibility firmly established, he penned his soon-to-be signature monster hit -- in an hour and a half. The single, "Bust A Move" was a staple on the charts for over 40 weeks. He received a Grammy for Best Rap Performance, won an American Music Award for Best Rap Artist and also garnered a Billboard Award for Best Pop Artist.
