Artist History EMPC met in Inglewood High classrooms in '93, sharing that love for hip hop. Instead of doing math problems, Sean Webb and Tyree Dillihay were penning raps and drawing. After they took speperate paths for college, they reunited and formed EMPC in 2000. The first song they recorded together, "Thesis" won them the Grand Prize in the JLS Contest. Every since then, they have elevated their game by performing live with their their band and completing the album, appropriately titled, "The Emmaculate".
