Conscious Daughters 'Nutcracker Suite' album

Hip-hop is now larger than it’s ever been - co-opted and used by everyone for every conceivable purpose - it can be argued that hip-hop is now synonymous with popular culture. But where are the women? Where are the female voices that are united to have their points of view heard in this time of global hip-hop dominance?

Enter The Conscious Daughters and their latest album The Nutcracker Suite. Hardcore street poet veterans with triple O.G. status in the game, CMG and Special One have proven themselves over time to be as cold as they come, fusing street knowledge with messages of empowerment from a distinctly female point of view that can only be described as refreshing in the middle of the testosterone-fest that hip-hop has become. All hail the Queens.

With rock-solid production courtesy of Paris, Rick Rock (producer of Jay-Z, Mariah Carey, Ice Cube and Tupac) and newcomer Steven King, among others, TCD is coming with serious heat. Touching on topics ranging from domestic violence and single motherhood to America's ill-conceived wars and the effects of violence on Black America's streets, The Conscious Daughters are set to make their mark.

The time has never been more right for women's voices in hip-hop to be heard - so here they are. With notable guest appearances from Grammy-award nominee Mystic, Marvaless, Paris and T-K.A.S.H., The Nutcracker Suite is a stunning return to form for arguably the dopest ladies to ever do it on the mic.

A necessary compliment to the Guerrilla Funk family, this crew of dope emcees provides a sorely-needed female perspective in hip-hop that rarely gets the attention it deserves.

Conscious Daughters biography
The Conscious Daughters are undisputedly one of the most prominent female rap duos in music. Most known as the Bay Area’s hottest female group, the Daughters (CMG & Special One) have sold over 700,000 records worldwide.

They exploded on the scene with “Fonky Expedition”, which officially put CMG and The Special One on the map, with their debut album, "Ear to the Street" selling over 300,000 copies and yielding a cross-country tour. With three singles and three videos from that project, The Conscious Daughters had finally gained national recognition.

Their second effort, Gamers was released and sold over 200,000 copies, entering the Billboard Chart with a bullet. By continuing to bring bangin’ beats to the streets, TCD once again rocked the world with their female baller anthems.

Now, The Conscious Daughters again are poised to bring heat with their third effort, The Nutcracker Suite. Featuring themes of self-empowerment and sisterhood with a hardcore edge, The Conscious Daughters continue to prove that they have their collective thumb on the pulse of the street. With production by the Bay Area’s hottest producers, Paris, Rick Rock and Steven King, The Nutcracker Suite is packed with head-noddin’ beats that compliment TCDs in-your-face style of rhyming.
