Three is the magic number, but there’s plenty of magic in De La duo First Serve’s first video, “Must Be The Music.” The pair’s sound is easily reminiscent of early De La Soul, combining ’70s funk and disco with Golden Era hip-hop.

Not much more to say except this is what party rap used to sound like.
