Nex Millen “Between The Paper Lines”
4205720164-1

“Between the Paper Lines” – Nex Millen’s truth and rights message to the young people, is the latest single to drop from the album “A New Age of Love and Light.”

“Between the Paper Lines” gives us a glimpse to Millen’s upbringing, a time when music filled our souls and gave us meaning and purpose. In this next installment, “Between the Paper Lines” is a refreshing, audible-throwback with the boom bap, double-dutch, quarter-water appeal, laced with violin and horn samples that blends seamlessly into tough, direct, and poignant drums. Millen assuredly declares “I know you won’t mind, if I tell the whole story.” He does exactly that by weaving us in and throughout his childhood and then bringing us back again, into the present time, while offering sage advice to next generation – Respect the Culture – Respect Yourselves.

Nex Millen/DistantStarr “Seekers Remixes”



Nex Millen/DistantStarr “Seekers Remixes” Download Here!!

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.

Rus Jaymes “Devastating” Remix f. Lawrence Arnell and Chief Kamachi




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 5/22/12) 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.

Rus Jaymes “Devastating” (Produced by Nex Millen)

Rus Jaymes “DEVASTATING” by Nex Millen

Happy New Year. This year will be the best music year in a long time for me. I very excited. I have a lot of unreleased material floating around the studio and I have time to sort through it all and release the best of the best. Or as I would say timeless. First out the gate is one of the best Hip Hop Artist I ever had the chance to work with. Rus Jaymes.

Rus Jaymes is not new to the culture at all. Born and raised in Camden City, Rus Jaymes started controlling the mic in the early nineties with partner Dave Ghetto as the group illPod then moved on to become a solo artist under the name Blackmagic. Only to partnered with Rhyme Slayer Seven Shot, forming the group Danger Island in the late nineties.
Rus Jaymes and I knew each other for a long time and I always thought if we were to do a project together it would be dope. In mid 2000 the J-lab would provided the right atmosphere to accomplish this beautiful collaboration called“Rumble Fish”. Locked away in the vault until now, Rumble Fish was ahead of it time some would say. I would say that it’ was definitely the start of my Timeless Music Making Era.

DEVASTATING was the first cut we recorded then and the first cut to be released now. Rus give the track his full and undivided attention. Spitting “I beat the shit out of this production” You can hear the hunger in his voice. The passion in his word play and the distinct feeling of “killing it” only a master of the rhyme can give you. Give a listen and let me and Rus Jaymes know what you think. If you like what you hear stay tuned for the “Rumble Fish EP” dropping in February on Nex Millen’s Band Camp.
