De La Soul’s Trugoy and Posdnuos have announced the launch of a side project titled First Serve.
For the project, the pair will be known as Jacob “Pop Life” Barrow and Deen “D” Whitter, or Plug 1 and Plug 2. The duo plans on releasing its first album in April, but has already released a warm-up titled The Goon Time Mixtape where they rap over reworked beats from Aloe Blacc, Eminem and Run-DMC.
Listen to the mixtape below, as well as the first song from the album titled “Pushin’ Aside, Pushin’ Along.”

Love these guys, but…how about a new DE LA album instead???
can’t believe there aren’t any comments on this…De La’s the dopest! Project sounds good…look forward to the album
They were talking about a new Album 3 Years ago! Will never happen, they just tour, tour, tour….It is simply more Money for them! They wont sell like they did back then…
So it’s a De La album minus Maceo???
Why not just put out AOI 3?
