Mustard’s 10 Summers Records announced last week it has signed Southern California native Hip-Hop artist DSTRCT to its roster. Today DSTRCT announced his debut EP Instillation 001 via his social media, available now for pre-order/pre-save. Instillation 001 will be released to all DSP partners on December 2nd. DSTRCT also dropped his first single “O.T.” last Friday under the label. Listen HERE.
“’OT’ is a special one to me because it’s one of the first records I did when I got over here,” says DSTRCT on signing with 10 Summers Records. “Also because the theme of it is exactly where my life has been lately; just completely locked into what I’m doing and making everything else secondary. So I want people to feel that sense of urgency when they listen.”
Continuing a California tradition of innovation, DSTRCT rolls out with a smooth, slick, and sizzling flow of his own, rapping straight from the heart with a whole lot of hunger. Immediately gravitating towards music, DSTRCT’s older sister introduced him to Nirvana, No Doubt, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, The Doors, and Janis Joplin. By middle school, he recorded his earliest compositions on a Sony laptop, completely immersing himself in hip-hop by high school. DSTRCT honed his skills throughout college before opting to leave and pursue his dream full-time. By chance, he caught the attention of GRAMMY® Award-winning, multi-platinum chart-topping producer, Mustard, after sharing a demo. Impressed, the mega-producer signed him to 10 Summers Records. Now, the Los Angeles native introduces himself as an inimitable force on his debut EP, Installation 001 [10 Summers Records] kickstarted by the single “O.T.”
