Posdunos and Dave from the legendary De La Soul have come together again to form First Serve, and the self-titled project is dropping in the spring. Here’s the first single, and below is a little more insight.

The last we heard of First Serve it was 3am in a Parisian suburb at an out of control house party with āThe Goon Time Mixtapeā blasting into the night. That was just a taste of things to come from De La Soulās Plug 1 & Plug 2 present āFirst Serveā; a dynamic hip-hop group, an album, a concept, the soundtrack to a movie that has yet to be made and a fable for our times.
āFirst Serveā is many things, but at its heart it is the story of two young boys from Queens, New York with big dreams and larger rhymes. Two friends, Deen Whitter (aka Plug 2 / Dave) and Jacob āPop Lifeā Barrow (aka Plug 1/ Pos), friends from seventh grade, are by their own admission, ādifferent, but the differences seem to complement everything we do.ā Their name āFirst Serveā comes from their motto, āFirst come, First Serve, get what you deserve.ā
We get a first glimpse into their world in the form of the track “Pushin’ Aside, Pushin’ Along”. Due to hit the streets in April 2012, the āFirst Serveā album, made with acclaimed French production team 2 & 4 (aka Chokolate & Khalid), tells the story of two dreamers in a basement struggling to start their musical career, the battles they face, through to the point that they eventually release their debut single, āmake it bigā and their hard work and persistence finally pays off. As we know that is rarely where the story ends and the story of āFirst Serveā is no different. Taking place in an animated world that could have been imagined by Hawley Pratt on Magic Mushrooms, the high spirited and often hilarious journey is pure old school hip-hop; skits, disco, beats, funk, quips, burns and hustlinā all included.
