There are two bands with the name New Kingdom. 1) New Kingdom was an American hip-hop group from New York City consisting of Nosaj, Sebastian, and Scotty Hard. Formed in 1987, New Kingdom was known for its psychedelic, funk and blues-influenced style and abstract lyricism. The duo released two albums on Gee Street Records in 1992 and 1996. Group members Nosaj and Sebastian met as coworkers in a clothing store in New York City. As they were both hip hop fans, they decided to begin recording rhymes in 1987. After New Kingdom moved into a recording studio, engineer Scotty Hard heard New Kingdom's demos, helped the group develop its sound and introduced the duo to Gee Street Records, which officially signed the act in 1992, after two years on a demo deal, New Kingdom released its debut album, Heavy Load, in 1993. Allmusic's Bret Love wrote of the album, "Heavy Load shows an awful lot of promise, but all too often New Kingdom fails to deliver." New Kingdom was praised for its unique sound and performance style. New Kingdom's musical style combines elements of hard rock, psychedelic music,f unk, and blues. The group's live performances featured a disc jockey and live instrumentation by a guitarist, a drummer, and a percussionist, as well as a masked dancer. The lyrical content of Nosaj and Sebastian is often abstract and ranges from autobiographical subjects to science-fiction fantasies. References made by the band range from Bruce Lee and Super Fly to the folklore of Paul Bunya
