All-Star Rejects

ASR Bio:
The All-Star Rejects are the bizarre alter egos of Producer/MC/Dj Stibs, one of many underground Christian producers on the South Coast hip-hop scene. The All-Star Rejects are Dj Stibs and Nvade as the emcee. Stibs got his start with the Dallas, TX-based Dallistic, which recorded an album, Live Life: The LP, for Praise HIM With Records label in 2002. Stibs has been in the Dallas music scene since 1997. After his many tries at being with several crews (Praise HIM With, D.O.G. Squad, Hot Tamalez, and many more) with him in the producer/dj seat, Stibs decided to pick up the mic and gather his unused beats, to show the world what he has to offer.
Stibs subsequently began to concentrate on his Nvade side-project, with which he'd been experimenting since late 2004. Nvade started off as his graffiti character logo. His story behind the character is that Nvade is a Nvasian. Nvasian is a race of aliens from Nvasia with an interest in Graffiti. They came to Earth to experience hip-hop 1st hand from which it started. Then Stibs wanted to go further with this Nvasian. Stibs debuted Nvade's voice in late 2005.
Quasimoto, a creation of super producer/MC Madlib (Stones Throw), would be the 1st to come into your mind. Actually, Stibs would be the 1st to admit, he did this voice to be on that same creative tip but NOT to bite or to be misunderstood. The beats and rhymes are on point! Stibs wanted the listeners to get another view of what alter egos can do. He presents the positive, non-smoker, character side to this world of alien pitch hip-hop. The other important / different factor that Stibs brings, is his Christian beliefs. He wanted to make music that did not have the HEAVY influences of weed smoke and cussing. "This is music that you can play in your car with kids around... Some people will get this, and some won't" - Stibs said in a 2005 interview.
The All-Star Rejects were greeted with generally glowing reviews (and some confusion as well), earning comparisons to legendary hip-hop eccentrics like Prince Paul and Slick Rick. The All-Star Rejects will most likely have a release in late 2007. An instrumental version of the album will followed later. The All-Star Rejects are also featured on Dj Stibs's upcoming Indie release "And I Love Her" in Fall 2007.
