Story.
The legend of the seekers is a story that has been told over the last 3 generations.

Some believers will tell you that the seekers are robotic aliens from a far off planet named Cybertron and they have the ability to transform into government owned F-16 fighter jets to disguise their identity and live among us, gathering and relaying information for a presumed hostile invasion.

And others will tell you that the seekers are a creation of DistantStarr “StarrSkream” to be use as a moniker for his self-produced musical projects on his Dizzy Arcadian Music Imprint.

But which ever story you choose to believe. There is still more than meets the eye.

Nex Millen/Distant Starr Seekers Remixes assembles the two tales into one giant of a 4 song EP.

DistantStarr’s razor sharp wit matched word for word by Nex Millen‘s unpredictably smooth production. Plus a cameo by buzzing Philly indie rap artist Buddy Leezle is added just to over do things. Did I forget to mention the visual opus for the song “The Stand Up” directed by SMD and the title track video for “Seekers” directed by DistantStarr and Arron D. Stallworth?

Whether robots in disguise or timeless Hip Hop music. All can hope that the legend of The Seekers is a story that will be talked about and listen to for generations to come.

The Golden Era meets the Now with the release of Apollo Brown and OC’s collaborative album Trophies on Mello Music Group. Apollo Brown has spent the last few years gaining respect and accolades for his production and OC is a revered veteran from the legendary DITC.

Trophies is now available:
CD Vinyl (Gatefold 2xLP) and of course iTunes

Trophies is a testament to the permanence of gritty, raw, boom-bap Hip-Hop. 16 tracks, no guests, no filler. The album has been highly anticipated by real heads world wide, so much so the album debuted at #8 on the US iTunes Hip-Hop charts. Some retailers were even shipping the physical copies early to eager fans but today is the official release date of Trophies everywhere—CD, vinyl and digital.

In celebration of the occasion, enjoy a free download of “Just Walk.” The powerful track finds Apollo Brown flipping a legendary sample into a triumphant composition with potent horn stabs. OC matches the majesty of Apollo’s beat by waxing poetically about his “alpha male ego” and comparing his street respect to that of Nuyorican poet Miguel Piñero. Calm and mature yet still rugged and live, “Just Walk” is exemplary of the kind of substance you can expect from Trophies. Enjoy the sounds, tell a friend and remember, Trophies in stores now!!!

As we get ready for the “Seekers Remixes” release. I thought it would be dope to post the new video for “The Stand Up” featuring Buddy Leezle. Directed by DistantStarr and SMD, The story has our man (Distant) trying to remove a strange homeless person from his stoop only to find out they have something in common after all.

Enjoy and pick up DistantStarr’s Seekers Project over @ DistantStarr.Bandcamp.com

A year ago almost to the day I released a single that I produced called Devastating by a artist named Rus Jaymes. After being well received on music blogs and media outlets. There was talk about a full length album, But Rus Jaymes disappeared from the public eye till now. With a new album fully recorded and produced by me affectionately called “RumbleFish” (Available 4/20/12) Rus Jaymes is back to finish the journey we started so long ago.

The first single off the album is a soundclash style remix of last years debut. Featuring Lawrence Arnell and Philly Indie Rap legend
Chief Kamachi.

The method behind this madness was to do a remix soundclash style. Two sound systems battling it out back2back over the same beat. Rus Jaymes version vs Lawrence Arnell and Chief Kamachi version. A epic battle of biblical proportion. Download it now @ Nex Millen Bandcamp

Give a listen and like I always say. If you like it, Pass it on. Word of mouth is golden.

Brief Description of Seekers

What are the Seekers? The idea of one DistantStarr, a tireless musician in search of new sound. “My goal is to bring back good ol’ hiphop but with a future twist” says the 29 year old father of 3. Hasn’t this been done? “Yes…but never quite this smooth”. The Seekers were a group of aircrafts which followed one StarScream or in this case “StarrSkream”. “I use the moniker for my self-produced projects”. Along with releasing music underneath the UK based electro, hiphop label FreeForm Records he plans to continue releasing these Seekers projects under his own Dizzy Arcadian Music imprint which he established in 2008.

DistantStarr

Born February 1983 in New York, DistantStarr is a renowned emcee/producer currently residing in the Philadelphia area.

DistantStarr is fast becoming one of the most respected artists in underground Hip Hop. Between acclaimed solo projects and collaborative efforts as StarrSkream (with Parisian producer Le N?ko) and MAGR (alongside fellow emcee Al Mighty), Starr has been busy carving a niche for himself in the scene that combines classic Hip Hop aesthetics and forward thinking production.

Starr’s collaborative credits read like a who’s who of the current music scene: Blu, Mike Slott, Jay Scarlett, Nex Millen, Hudson Mohawke, Reggie B and Kissey Asplund have all connected with the man and added their own imprint to his already signature sound.

Mellow hip hop icons De La Soul have always marched to the beat of their own drum machine, bucking contemporary trends and collaborating with unexpected cohorts. Now, 2/3 of that revered group are taking on all-new personae to release a strange-sounding concept album.

Releasing a self-titled record under the group name First Serve, rappers Dave (AKA Plug 1) and Posdnuos (Plug 2) star as their alter-egos, Deen Whitter and Jacob ‘Pop Life’ Barrow, two kids from Queens who dream of conquering the music industry from the ground up.

The duo call the album “the soundtrack to a movie that has yet to be made and a fable for our times.”

First Serve’s first single is “Pushin’ Aside, Pushin’ Along.”

De La Soul’s last studio album was 2004′s “The Grind Date,” although they’ve released several compilations since then and have appeared on songs by Gorillaz (including the Grammy-winning “Feel Good Inc.”) and indie icons Yo La Tengo.

Scene One Act One:: The Goon Time Mixtape

In the unusually warm 3am air of a Parisian suburb, a house party is getting out of control. Police Nationale have been called – but no-one can get near. The air is thick with Hip-Hop filling the adjacent streets, acting like a force field. You can hear the faint licks of Aerosmith and the rising vocals of Bowie as far as the Champs Elysees. Is that DJ Kool Herc on the decks? Situated in the Capital of French Electro, the influence is audible, while Meth, Red, Jay-Z and even Mystikal get 16 bars in on the mic. Who knew The Beatles were this funky?

The cause for celebration? It’s the wrap up party for First Serve, an undercoverproject that has been two years in the making. First Serve is the brainchild of 2 & 4 (aka Chokolate & Khalid, producers/ DJ’s). After an instant meeting of minds they decided to embark on a musical adventure – a Hip Hop album played by musicians. All they needed was a couple of MC’s to help complete their vision. Enter NY based Jacob ‘Pop’ Life and Deen ‘D’ Whitter.Listen to the mixtape recorded at the party. It’s funky, it’s hip hop, it’s disco… and it’s a classic!
