Legendary New York hip-hop trio De La Soul have announced details of a new side project called First Serve. The new duo are comprised of Deen Whitter and Jacob ‘Pop Life’ Barrow – aka De La Soul’s Plug One (Posdnous) and Plug Two (Trugoy/Dave) – and have confirmed that their debut album is due for release in April. New track ‘Pushin Aside, Pushin Along’ is available to listen to below.
‘First Serve’ is a concept album that tells the story of two friends in a basement, struggling to start their music career. The album takes the listener on a journey through to the point where the duo get to release their debut single and finally “make it big”.
De La Soul’s most recent album release was 2004’s ‘The Grind Date’, the trio’s seventh album to date. Since then, they have collaborated with Damon Albarn’s Gorillaz on several occasions, including on the tracks ‘Feel Good Inc’ (from 2005’s ‘Demon Days’) and ‘Superfast Jellyfish’ (from 2010’s ‘Plastic Beach’). In 2005, the trio received the first Grammy Award of their career for Best Pop Vocal Collaboration for ‘Feel Good Inc’. De La Soul have performed with Gorillaz at many of their recent live shows, including Glastonbury 2010 and the subsequent tour.
