EM4NCIPATION was born in 2016 from common purposes in stylistic and musical research between Alessandro Rossi, Andrea Lombardini, Massimiliano Milesi and Massimo Imperatore. Each player’s background quickly blended into a common artistic view which translated itself in an incisive personality, fascinating sound and a strong live presence. In 2017 the band released its debut album, Emancipation (Cam Jazz) which skyrocketed them from smaller Italian venues to festivals in Italy and abroad. The involvement with Brooklyn based rapper Yah Supreme in 2019 marked a turning point for Em4ncipation as a group, leading to Blowing Time Away, released in 2020.
