Nex Millen/DistantStarr “Seekers Remixes” Download Here!!

Story.
The legend of the seekers is a story that has been told over the last 3 generations.

Some believers will tell you that the seekers are robotic aliens from a far off planet named Cybertron and they have the ability to transform into government owned F-16 fighter jets to disguise their identity and live among us, gathering and relaying information for a presumed hostile invasion.

And others will tell you that the seekers are a creation of DistantStarr “StarrSkream” to be use as a moniker for his self-produced musical projects on his Dizzy Arcadian Music Imprint.

But which ever story you choose to believe. There is still more than meets the eye.

Nex Millen/Distant Starr Seekers Remixes assembles the two tales into one giant of a 4 song EP.

DistantStarr’s razor sharp wit matched word for word by Nex Millen‘s unpredictably smooth production. Plus a cameo by buzzing Philly indie rap artist Buddy Leezle is added just to over do things. Did I forget to mention the visual opus for the song “The Stand Up” directed by SMD and the title track video for “Seekers” directed by DistantStarr and Arron D. Stallworth?

Whether robots in disguise or timeless Hip Hop music. All can hope that the legend of The Seekers is a story that will be talked about and listen to for generations to come.

New Music:: Nex Millen “Who Is Mumia Abu Jamal”

Posted in News with tags , , , , , , , , on March 29, 2011 by nexmillen



Respect The Culture, LLC, a Philadelphia-based record label and multi-media company, has released Nex Millen/Retrospective’s album, “Who is Mumia Abu Jamal?” The iTunes download features the spoken word of controversial death row inmate and political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal.

Nex Millen’s alternative, soulful beats accompany the spoken word of Jamal, recorded from death row at Huntingdon State Prison and S.C.I. Greene. The album also includes guest appearances by Assata Shakur, Allen Ginsberg & Jello Biafra.

“Millen’s latest effort features his skillful production and a message in his music – the message of death row inmate Mumia Abu Jamal,” “From the haunting keyboards of ‘To Be Like Malcolm, A Message To Mumia’ to the funky, up-tempo sound of ‘A Bright Shining Hell’ to the subtle scratching in ‘Statement of the Facts’ and ‘Legalized Crime’ to the moving strings of ‘The Depth of Our Courage,’ Millen’s beats artfully support the powerful lyrics without detracting from the purpose of the piece – to allow listeners to hear the voice of Jamal and his supporters – many for the first time.”

Mumia Abu Jamal is an award-winning journalist who exposed police violence against minority communities. Imprisoned in 1982 for the alleged murder of a Philadelphia policeman, Jamal maintains his innocence, citing the lack of evidence, racial bias in jury selection, improper tactics by the prosecution and ineffective counsel from the public defender at trial as well as new forensic and other evidence in his defense.

During his twenty plus years of incarceration, Jamal has published numerous recorded and written essays regarding his political and social beliefs via http://www.prisonradio.org. All of the proceeds from the sales of this download will be donated to The International Concerned Friends & Family of Mumia Abu Jamal.

“Who is Mumia Abu Jamal?” is available for purchase at iTunes, Rhapsody, MSN Music, Sony Connect, Verizon Wireless and other music sites online.

45 copy_2
Respect to all my new friends on Reverbnation, Twitter, Facebook and Soundcloud. Thank you for the support. Keep tuning in and tell a friend.

This week is the return of the 45 Dig. I would like to share a few timeless gems from the collection pass down to me by my aunt and uncles at the early age of 5. These records are not in the best of condition, but have the greatest sentimental value of any other records I own. They have been played over and over again before, during and after my childhood, magically transporting me back to a time when my aunt and I danced happily in my grandparents basement to them. So let’s get dusty. Enjoy /////Millen

New Music:: NXPW “Get Me One” Remix f. 2ew Gunn Ciz and Zilla Rocca

Posted in News with tags , , , , , , , , on November 15, 2010 by nexmillen



Nex Millen and Poesh Wonder are NXPW. NXPW have been working together since 2006 on Poesh Wonder’s “Like This-The Album” and 2007′s “No You Haven’t And You Never Will Again.” This led to more stellar collaborations – “Friday Night,” “Check This Sound,” and “Troop Song”. After noticing the popularity of their songs together, Poesh and Millen decided to begin work on a full album together. NXPW “The Doctrine”. The timeless music created for “The Doctrine” is a word for word, beat for beat ode to the culture. Demonstrating that it’s more to hip hop culture than just stardom. The culture of Hip Hop represents family and community, peace and tranquility. And most of all being in harmony with one another. NXPW speak on this, trading verses and tracks back and forth in a Jaylib type style. These two hip hop officinatos are putting it down for the generations. NXPW lead off single is “Get Me One” and “Get Me One” Remix featuring 2ew Gunn Ciz and Zilla Rocca of 5 o’clock Shadowboxers. Available at http://nexmillen.bandcamp.com Purchase the Limited Edition CD with bonus tracks a portion of the proceeds will be donated to “The Save The Children Organization” For more info on NXPW contact: http://reverbnation.com/nexmillen http://reverbnation.com/poeshwonder
