Scotland Yard Emcees
Scotland Yard Emcees was an Edinburgh based hip hop group composed of MC Profisee a.k.a. Nutty Prof, Necaras, E-Hybrid, Big Stoo a.k.a. Isomer and Mr Jinx.
History
The group rapped in many settings from Leicester to London, but for two years Kulu's Jazz joint (Henry's Cellar Bar) was their headquarters.
As time elapsed, Scotland Yard Emcees became Yard Emcees, culminating in the Dazed & Confused / Topshop award for music in 2003, and the release of their second EP Streetz via the One Little Indian label. They split up shortly afterwards.
In recent years MC Profisee, alongside DJ/producer Vigilante, has released an EP with his new project, Great Ezcape, as well as still pursuing other solo projects. Profisee also appeared on two tracks from Hexstatic's 2007 album, When Robots Go Bad. Mr Jinx and producer Seanie B have released an EP under the name Scotland Yard, and are working on new projects for their new record label, Dropzone Records.
Necaras has returned to London and is currently working on new material. Big Stoo currently lives and works in Japan, pursuing a career in Mixed martial arts.
