De La Soul's Plug 1 & Plug 2 are now based in Paris and have transformed into First Serve, setting funk phazers to full blast. "Must B The Music" is the first single along with the Goon Time Mixtape, which you can download for free while looking at their tumblr, which is a treasure chest of great random shit.
"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.... 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!"
