Binary Star
To astronomers, a binary star is a system of two stars revolving around their common center of mass. To the telescopic eye, the two stars appear as one. Such is the case when One.Be.Lo and Senim Silla, two of Michigan's finest underground producers/MCs, join forces to form the singular entity known to crate sifters, beat heads, and rhyme junkies worldwide as Binary Star. The tandem originally hooked up in the late '90s while incarcerated in a Michigan state correctional facility. Rather than glorifying the hard knock life like so many rappers with a rap sheet, both members focused on the social institutions at the root of their problems. In 2000 they released their classic Masters of the Universe LP on their own Subterraneous Records label and successfully pushed more than 20,000 units. But soon after, "creative differences" forced an extended hiatus that has only just recently subsided. All ages show at 5:00 p.m. 21+ show at 10:00 p.m.
