‘First Serve’ 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 ‘Pop Life’
Barrow (aka Plug 1/ Pos), friends from seventh grade, are by their own admission,
“different, but the differences seem to complement everything we do.”
Their name ‘First Serve’ comes from their motto, “First come,
First Serve, get what you deserve.”
After years of laying down demos and mixtapes on the hustle in the hip-hop
game, we get the next instalment from their world in the form of the ‘We
Made It’ skit. All the hard work has finally paid off – Jacob and
Deen have hit the big time signing to Goon Time Records to become the next new
thing to hit the airwaves.
Due to hit the streets worldwide on April 2nd, through Duck Down Music
in North America & Pias in all other territories, the ‘First
Serve’ album 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, ‘make it big’ and their
hard work and persistence finally pays off. As we know that is rarely where
the story ends and the story of ‘First Serve’ 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 hustlin’ all included.
Ain’t nothing gonna stop us now...
