“Like Laurie Anderson, there’s an acrid electronic clatter behind her, provided by Phillip Charles, 4 Hero, Tim Motzer (who creates a Bjork-
blues environ for the title track) and Motzer/Britt.”

“Spring is a triumph of smooth beats (from King Britt and Tim Motzer) and languid
phrases that drift into a dreamy ether.”
Tom Moon philadelphia inquirer

“Supa Sista reads like a who’s who of respected producers; 4 Hero’s Dego MacFarlane and Marc Clair deal the goods on ‘what’ and ‘7,’ King Britt and Tim Motzer man the desk ‘Spring’ while Cali’s Jonah Sharp is called up for production on ‘one million ways.’ Supa Sista makes for a fluid listen with Rucker’s voice the single constant.”

“The title track “Supa Sista” sounds like some funked-up “gangsta folk” music that invokes the flavor of Cassandra Wilson’s major label breakthrough Blue Lights ‘Till Dawn (1994). Produced by Tim Motzer who Rucker originally worked with on King Britt’s Sylk130, the song begins with Rucker’s slow big drum chant of “I rose and fell / As he called my name . . . he changed my name / Called my blackness untamed / He put me in chains / He changed my name / Then he changed my names.”

“Philly native Rucker, along with collaborator Tim Motzer and another musican or two, turned out a brilliant set of her socially engaged neo-soul and spoken-word, but it was tough to focus on her performance amidst the swirl of people… The claustrophobia was almost worth it, though, seeing Björk plow her way through the crowd, a star happy to come back down to earth for the afternoon.”

“And the music — a delicious blend of black soul and electronica crafted by heavies like King Britt, 4Hero, Alexkid, Robert Yancey III, and Tim Motzer — is as intoxicating as the words.”

“Prominent producers are helping out; 4Hero, AlexKid from French F-Communications and
Tim Motzer (who has also written many of the songs together with Ursula), just to name a few. Because of this, “Supa Sista” is a soulful mix of different styles. Tracks to especially mention are “Brown Boy”, “Supa Sista”, “7” and “Womansong”.”

“On the acoustic-funk-driven title track , produced by jazz guitarist/producer Tim Motzer
(Jazzheads, Sylk 130), Rucker calls black women to arms, liltingly proclaiming, “I call on all Supa Sistas/ To emerge from the muck and the mire/ Set the brainwashed-up masses on fire.”
