4Trinity teamed up with their friends, K-nuff & Butta P of Rhema Soul, Young Joshua, ViceVrsa and producer Mpax to make a free download track for the holidays. Instead of making the typical track, they decided to take a different route and speak about how most people today go out, celebrate, and party, but don’t even know why or what they are celebrating. While the world is looking for some satisfaction, we understand that we found ours in Jesus. The King is here!

With a beat from the one and only Beat Rabbi plus scratches from DJ Allstar… this track came together and is one of the most popular tracks we featured on Sphere of Hip-Hop upon release. That flute sample is crazy fresh.
Stu Dent keeps it grimey and street on this one. A definite head nodder from a fresh early release from ILLECT Recordings.

This classic track from 1999 was a cornerstone single for Solseekers and our scene. Not only did it reach #1 on the MP3.com multi-genre Music chart but it was one of the first independent releases to do so. It also reached #1 on the MP3.com Hip-Hop/Rap charts a handful of times and stayed there for several months. At it’s peak, the song was being downloaded almost 100,000 times a day! For faith based hip-hop this song was the first to really catch on in the broader hip-hop mainstream.
Solseekers went on to record two more projects including their debut album People Watching. People Watching featured a new recording of “Audience of One”.
Look for new music from each of the three emcees featured. JustMe has two solo albums, One Man’s Trash and Before the Twilight, out now on Illect Recordings. Ajax Starglider also has two solo releases out now including Middle Class Artisan and Middle Class Broadcast. Capture is working on a new project/group called Two Man Trio.
