Secta 7 - The Invasion (2LP, Album) PRE ORDER NOW

Secta 7 – The Sound of a Movement

Long before the name Secta 7 took shape, its roots were already embedded deep within the underground. As early as 1997, rare recordings such as Remnant Militia – a (EP) document circulated among those in the know, featuring early works like “Iron Soul,” a track that would later become a cornerstone in the group’s legacy (this song appears on the Secta 7 debut album). That same year, the satellite television program Ministerz Of Tha Underground began broadcasting across the United States, documenting a fading but vital culture: raw, uncompromised underground hip-hop. Showcasing artists, ciphers, and venues from coast to coast, it laid the groundwork for something far greater than a show.

By November 9th, 1999, that vision crystallized. Through the direction of founding figures Eleazar The Last Testament, Lord Knowledge (also known as Lord Metatron), Roldan Militant, and Optix, a collective was formed, an assembly of voices united by a shared purpose: to preserve and represent the essence of true underground hip-hop. From this foundation, both a label and a movement emerged under the banner of Ministerz Of Tha Underground.

In 2000, most of the Secta 7 members migrated to Houston, TX to release their debut album " The Invasion ". More than a lineup, it became a disciplined collective of lyricists, each bringing their own perspective while standing on a common ground. The original formation included Eleazar The Last Testament, Lord Knowledge, Roldan Militant, Optix, Optimus Rhyme, Man Of War, Stress, Kaoticgal Tha Prophetess, Black Seed, O.N.E., and Planit, artists committed to a vision that stood apart from industry norms.

Over time, the circle expanded while maintaining its core philosophy. Members of Secta 7 include Black Seed, Eleazar The Last Testament, Just paraDOX, Justus, Kaoticgal Tha Prophetess (also known as Katurah of Mindzeye Campus), King David, Lord Knowledge (Lord Metatron), Man Of War, Man Relic, Ms. Mystique, O.N.E., Opposite, Optimus Rhyme, Optix, Roldan Militant, Righteouz Knight, Stress (Stress Free), Verbal Snypa, and Versatyle.

Beyond its core, Secta 7’s extended network, known as the Regiment, further amplifies its reach and ideology. This includes affiliates such as 7th Apostle, Atom Tha Immortal, Destro, Descendantz, Imagiin 360, Judah Priest, Planit, Professor, Reformed Elite, and Tri, each contributing to the broader movement in their own right.

The lineage of Secta 7 also traces back even further. Eleazar The Last Testament, under his birth name Jamerson Smith, was previously part of the early 1990s group Apocalypse alongside Rehab and DJ EST, another chapter in a continuous dedication to the craft.

What defines Secta 7 is not only its history, but its intent. Built on raw lyricism, spiritual inquiry, and unapologetic perspective, their music is dense, symbolic, and uncompromising. Each verse carries weight; each composition unfolds with purpose. This is hip-hop as a vessel, for knowledge, for identity, and for expression beyond the superficial.

This release captures that spirit in its purest form. Now, 25 years after their debut era, these recordings are presented for the first time on vinyl and cassette; preserving their energy in a warm, analog format that reflects the time and intention from which they emerged.

Secta 7 stands as a testament to a parallel path in hip-hop history, one that exists beyond the spotlight, yet remains essential to the Culture’s foundation.
