Roxzi and Symphony have always be able to capture an audiences with their seasoned rhymes and energetic performance. While their incontrovertible chemistry on tracks and stage alike seems effortless it was actually six years in the making. It was only after facing every adversity, suffering devastating losses that these ladies rose from the ashes of their previous selves to form the hip hop phenomenon the Get Em’ Mamis (G.E.M.).
With a new name and a new outlook on life these Baltimore natives exploded on to the hip hop scene in a big way in 2006. Since then, they have proved to be more than underground artists by having a string of hit singles placing their music directly in the hands of the producers of HBO’s phenomenal, Peabody award winning series The Wire. This earned them placement on both seasons 4 and 5 of the ground breaking drama. The hit single “When You See Us”, featured on season four, and was also placed on the series soundtrack “Beyond Hamsterdam: Baltimore tracks from The Wire”.Beyond Hamsterdam was released nationally on Warner Bros. in February 2008.
The Get Em Mamis buzz generated by this single caught the attention of many local and national magazines. It landed them cover stories and articles in some of the biggest publications catering to music consumers such as Fader Magazine, Vibe, The B, and the well known and respected music publication, Rolling Stone magazine. In their May 2008 issue, Rolling Stone gave the Get Em’ Mamis latest single “Cold Summer” a very impressive 4 star rating. By Year End of 2008 They were listed in Rolling Stones Top 100 singles of the year, between Santiago Gold's "ICARUS" and Lil Waynes "A Milli".
The Get Em Mamis are preparing to release their first album titled "TerAwesome" ( a superlative the group made up which means "somewhere between terrific and awesome") late Summer 2009. They recently shot the video for their fun and edgy singles "Work" & "Rock With Me" directed by Mr.Gray of 7/8 Pro. The group is working with a few artist in the UK and touring the states showing the world what they have to offer and more.
The G.E.M.'s continue to work tirelessly on music and traveling to perform to feed the seemingly never ending hunger to become worldwide platinum recording artists and inspiration to young females across the nation.
