Biography
Pontiac, Detroit MI, United States (1998 – 2000, 2009 – present)
Binary Star is back to change the game once again.
The duo of emcees One Be Lo and Senim Silla possess a lethal chemistry greater than the sum of its parts. Trading verses effortlessly, the two can create magic on the mic ranging from intricate storytelling to battle raps.
Hailing from Pontiac, Michigan – Lo and Senim originally met in high school and instantly developed a close friendship. However one poor decision that could have easily derailed their career, made the bond between them stronger and more focused. An armed robbery conviction landed them both in prison for a three-year sentence and during this time Binary Star officially came into existence in 1998.
Upon their release, Lo and Senim had grown more mature, focused, and immediately began recording what would evolve into Masters of the Universe and the classic song “Reality Check”. Binary also had plenty of beats waiting from longtime friend Decompoze, who would co-produce a majority of the album.
After initially pressing up CD, vinyl, and tape copies – the Binary Star buzz earned the group a distribution deal that would convert music listeners into loyal fans with the release of M.O.T.U. in 2000. It went on to sell over 25,000 units and showed the viability of independent hip-hop during a time when major labels had begun the commercialization of rap music.

I remember interviewing One Be Lo about the EP and his B.A.B.Y. project back in 2009. Its been a long wait but I'm glad they put this out! Thumper is a classic track. I hope Decompoze does some more beats with them in future!

Binary Star has changed Hip Pop in such a revolutionary way, that from this point on, there will be many artist's picking up their work and using it to further their own style of Hip Pop.

"Recently reuniting after a 10-year hiatus, Binary Star is back in the studio working on its long awaited follow-up to the classic debut album Masters Of The Universe. Tentatively titled "Light Years Apart," the duo's EP serves as a mere prequel to a full-length LP." Holy fucking shit.
