"There is a new sound emerging from Philadelphia. Ursula Rucker's debut album Supa Sista strikes an intricate balance between new jazz, hip-hop and Philly soul -- all infused with poetic vision. Since 1994, performance and recording artist, Ursula Rucker has collaborated with some of the most innovative artists in music. Admired and respected for recordings with 4 Hero, Jamaladeen Tacuma, King Britt, The Silent Poets, Josh Wink, and Bahamadia, Ursula has also been honored to close The Roots three studio Albums. Supa Sista is a departure from Ursula's previous work as she pushes lyrical poetry to places it's never been by fusing multiple genres. Throughout Supa Sista, she flexes her skills as a song writer, lyricist and vocalist. Touching on subjects ranging from womanhood, the state of black music, love lost, and child abuse, Ursula teamed with an array of producers to create an unprecedented effort that is entertaining, provocative and socially conscious."

Title:	Ma'at Mama
Label:	STUD!O K7 (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	K7 194CD

"Supa Sista, Ursula Rucker's 2001 !K7 debut launched a talented poet out the gate as a solo artist with the affirmation of a strong lyrical voice. Then came Silver and Lead in 2003, a riveting exploration of self, woman and Black, with an assembly of producers. With Ma'at Mama, Rucker shows a new level of maturity in her writing. It's clear that she harnesses emotions in song to get through the daily grind. She explores socio-political points of race, class, culture, religion and gender, with steel-cut precision. True to form, Rucker's albums are poetry in motion, guided by a time signature that speaks to the human experience with honesty and poignancy."
