Someothaship Connect is a music label owned and operated by Dudley Perkins and Georgia Anne Muldrow. With their combined talents, they have created a platform that showcases innovative and boundary-pushing music.
As an independent label, Someothaship Connect prides itself on nurturing artists who are unafraid to experiment with different genres and styles. Their roster includes some of the most exciting and forward-thinking musicians in the industry.
With a focus on quality over quantity, Someothaship Connect ensures that each release is meticulously crafted and thoughtfully curated. From soulful R&B to experimental hip-hop, their catalog offers something for every discerning listener.

Madlib is a multi-genre producer, MC, instrumentalist, and avid crate digger and record collector. Born on October 24, 1973 in Oakland, California, he comes from a talented musical family with his father being soul singer Otis Jackson Sr., his brother being Oh No, his uncle being jazz trumpeter Jon Faddis, and his cousin being Kan Kick.

Rising to prominence in the late-'90s hip-hop scene, Madlib quickly made a name for himself as a rapper, producer, and DJ. With his childhood friends in the Lootpack, he showcased his expansive style and deft touch for composition. As an enthusiastic crate digger with a deep reverence for jazz and soul music, Madlib embarked on ambitious solo projects that captivated audiences.

In addition to collaborating with artists like DJ Romes and Wild Child in the Lootpack, Madlib worked extensively with Los Angeles DJ Peanut Butter Wolf's Stones Throw label. He achieved critical success through albums such as Quasimoto's "The Unseen" where he handled vocals and production duties under both himself and his alter ego Quasimoto. Madlib also explored jazz through his Yesterday's New Quintet project where he played all the instruments himself.

Soul vocalist and producer born in 1983 in Los Angeles, California. Georgia Anne Muldrow is the daughter of Ronald Muldrow and Ricki Byars Muldrow. She is also known for being married to Dudley Perkins.
With her unique blend of soulful vocals and production skills, Georgia Anne Muldrow has made a name for herself in the music industry. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she comes from a musical family with both her parents being talented musicians themselves. Her father, Ronald Muldrow, is a jazz guitarist while her mother, Ricki Byars Muldrow, is an acclaimed gospel singer.
Throughout her career, Georgia Anne Muldrow has collaborated with various artists and released numerous albums that showcase her versatility as an artist. Her music combines elements of soul, funk, hip-hop, and jazz to create a sound that is uniquely hers. With each release, she continues to push boundaries and challenge traditional genres.

On Seeds, Georgia Muldrow takes a step back and leaves the beatmaking to Otis Jackson Jr., aka Madlib. As producers, Muldrow and Jackson are not worlds apart, so the switch requires no adjustment on the part of the listener. That said, this is one dense and tight set, barely over half-an-hour in length, and it's definitely in contention for Muldrow's most focused, funkiest, and (somewhat ironically) personal release to date.

Throughout the record, the emphasis remains heavily fixated on her family as a unit of salvation and purpose. The most direct track of the lot is "Husfriend," where she honors her relationship with Dudley Perkins (a/k/a Declaime, who appears on “The Few”). 

Muldrow can't quite divorce the planetary and personal issues, heard vividly on "Best Love," which sounds just like a simple, sweet, straight-ahead love song until she starts asking her other half for money to build water wells on three continents ("We can make a difference if we try now"). 

Overall, Seeds is another left-field deviation in Muldrow's career: it's one of her most captivating and immediate front-to-back statements of purpose as a singer, but it's also the first album where she's handed over all the production duties to somebody else.

In celebration of this album’s decenary run, Someothaship Connect is pleased to reintroduce an anniversary edition repress of this captivating release in partnership with Fat Beats.
