So many songs, It's considered a Super Session.

This weekend was definitely a weekend full of work. We OhDeeeeee'd in the booth. And that's no exaggeration. (8 complete songs)


T.R.U.T.H. came over to the studio friday night and immediately we had to record. It's been a while since he's been here.


1st track of the day.


What Would You Do?- Woody. Dboy/DNO/D-Prince and T.R.U.T.H.




This song is deep from the soul and brings forth a couple of questions. Specifically, what would you do if you had the chance to move forward? *What's the ideal woman for someone? All these questions are answered.


*This song was indirectly linked to someone on D's verse. Fuck it!!!


After that we went straight to the next song.


Loser- T.R.U.T.H. and Dboy/DNO/D-Prince


Loser by The League (JL)


This song means a lot to both of us.


"Have you ever had the feeling where people gotta call you a loser sometimes? No support, no nothing?"-D.


"How does it feel to wake up to the feeling knowing that a rapper can actually have feelings?"- T.R.U.T.H.


This song took 3 hours to make. Super soul. It's ridiculous. If you say this song is garbage, Battle.


Then Erion came in, made so many songs. (6 to be exact)


Check out his tape coming soon. Straight bars.


Where Was We Found (I'm Beamin') by The League (JL)






I don't even feel like typing anymore. The music definitely explains for itself.






It's The League and don't forget it.

Origins: First song That The League Got On As A Group

Family Reunion by The League (JL)


Family Reunion= First track that The League got on (Known as the Just-Us League back then)


First comment. Family Reunion was the instrumental that we used. Joe Budden. Fabolous. Ransom. They murdered that beat.


"You got mail? Nah you got shells and my Mac you can't use for Ichat"-Fab. Jesus.


The concept was dope. It was our first track as a family. We became a union, thus the term "Reunion", "Family Reunion'. Indeed.


Erion is on the first verse, and let's just say he did the beat justus (pun).


"Women tell me Oh My God like it's my religion, making money off rap like it's time for christmas."-Erion.


Next was Dboy on the track.


"My family makes money pure point dollars, hustlin' and investin' ain't no problem."-Dboy


T.R.U.T.H.


"Tag team  bless ya whole squad, leave you filled with more holes then Spongebob."- T.R.U.T.H.


J.Styles might be tied for 1st place on this track.


"Each verse subtract ya neck off a jackknife, Any of y'll disses I'll respond with a website Dot Dot Dot Y'll Niggas really light- J.Styles


Overall this track was dope but don't judge off of old music. The music that we are doing now destroys this music tenfold.


I sense a re-up to this track though. #Pause

Origins: It's The League Tag

Garrett Labrie
Indeed
Hit me up if you want some pics done.

If you have heard our music, then you are probably familier with the phrase "It's the...It's the league..." We decided to use that as our little tag. Whenever you hear that, you will know that it's The League on a track, whether it is production wise or rapping wise.


Origins of this tag:


One Take (So Appalled) CLICK TO LISTEN


Props given to J.Styles. This might have been one of the only songs that each of us only took one take. Styles OD'd on the first verse, I did fantastic on the second verse, and T.R.U.T.H. was ridiculous in his verse. It was all a FREESTYLE.


"Don't even try to have an Identity Crisis, what you trynna end up LIFELESS?"- T.R.U.T.H.


"Don't get your crew circled, pi R Squared"- J.Styles


"Stop making these Frankenstein experiments, Hip-Hop ain't dead, cuhz I'm still living it"-Dboy


This song took 15 minutes to make, mix, and master down. And what was the result?


SLEPT ON! -_-


Be on the lookout for The League X Storm Watkins: 7 Day Forecast coming soon.

Shinin' (As Mimicked By The Sun)

So this is sort of a follow up to the post from Monday (As I said I would post) to explain my happiness well 17 years ago today I was born *gasp* it's my birthday oh excuse me correction it's my birth week so I'm gonna be playing "November 10th" - Charles Hamilton (aka Professor Francis) all day on repeat so anyone with something to say to me that isn't positive kiss my grits (insert offensive gesture here).

One Day, Just Not Today

One day The League might be known for more than just blogging, putting out music, and cypher videos. One day we might win a Grammy for best song, or even best album of the year. One day we just might suprise a few and do something out of this world. One day we may have fans that don't just consist of friends. One day we may have a biographical movie made about us with famous actors portaying us. But just not today today we have a few fans which we appreciate in every sense of the word that quote us in Facebook statuses. Today we have talked to famous people and even had them play our songs to their fans via Ustream. Today we have about 80 followers on twitter. Today we only have a mic (which is falling apart), a Midi Keyboard (we don't know how to use), a Mac with garageband software (we have pro tools but don't know how to use it), and our recording studio is a bedroom, but that's just motivation to turn one day into today, to turn maybe in to certainly, to get over 100,000 followers on twitter, to make that platinum album, to go on tour, to have fans cheering for us, to get our first music video, to be in the BET Hip-Hop Awards Cyphers, to be called a legend. So yea one day may not be today that doesn't mean we aren't trying to make it happen. All dreams aren't farfetched ideas the opportunities are out there just look.

Shoutout To My Long Hair! You'll Be Back Soon!!!

Ayo,

After hearing what CH did to Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair", I had to get on it.



















Here I present "Shoutout To My Hair"


Definitely are some puzzles to decode in the song. See if you could figure it out.

Shoutout to Starchasers.

Venting

I'm really like no other, I just write until my bodys paralyzed like I was on the gridiron as a rutger, started to write because of my mother, now the coincidence is I might stop because of my mother, this is a midterm grade, its kinda too late to clean up the mess i already made,  refuse to be remedial , and  nah I aint evil, i just stay with the brass like William regal, because the world is not safe ever since the avatar came and left, and they ain't really asking for a sequal, boy I've been doing since I was fetal, I'm here, Roger that, mason, your boy is hogan and  that giant is what I'm facin if I hope to be the greatest, now it's either black out on an instrumental or go off the temple, and the last option could be i'm locked in something like a redbox, no movie rental


You know who i run with....J.L.

They Just Don't Understand Us

Some try to comprehend why one would want to be in the music business (or more specifically rap) there are reasons one is to get rid of the negative connotation associated with the word rapper (i.e drugs, degrading women, getting arrested, and violence) which is not to say we're goin Disney with it either (bars are bars and if there's a certain way you have to be spoken to to get the message then by all means we shall) there are messages/stories in almost every song every lyric everything, anyway you look at it there's always someone who's gonna come with that question of why and you may get annoyed and feel like jabbing them but it's something we all go through I can't help but think some people who say chase your dreams would change their whole view after you say you wish to pursue music in fact i know of a few like that and it's like do you hear yourself that to me is the biggest hypocritical statement that can be made by any one person it's nothing one should dwell on but when it happens almost daily it's like well would you like to be me then would you like to live through my daily life some people just don't understand until they themselves have gone through it which most who say such things have passed the stage at which such journey can be taken so I say all of that to say this don't knock what you don't know all about don't categorized everyone associated with something because that's the only thing you see on the surface what about the people not doing these things and what about the people pushing these people to do these things (i.e people who criticize, paparazzi, talk show hosts) all people who've never been through such so what you don't understand don't poke or prod it research it learn more about it. One love.

No Rest For The Weary

Stay Up

(It's The League And Don't Forget It)

" Shinin' " Though The Sun Isn't

It's cloudy out in L.A. today but at the same time bright though it's gloomy makes sense to some no sense whatsoever to others I'm " Shinin' " nonetheless " Beamin' "even (Shinin' on repeat as I type this)

Why am I so happy today why will I be happy all week well I'll leave that to you guys to decide I'll tell you myself this Thursday or rather you guys may tell me (I'll leave that for you to "Decode"[shout outs throughout this entire post])

I called off my date to homecoming/kinda killed off asking for prom as well but things happen plans change and people feel pressured it's my fault and sorry to the person who was asked it's all good and I'm good (Ain't nobody f*ckin wit my "Latte")

Last Black Friday went well I OD'd on the freestyle as did my comrades and we found a beat for the cypher this friday as well i know you're wondering wth is "Black Friday" about well let me explain and not explain at the same time "Black Friday" just is what it is what we do on said day may change from week to week what won't change are the cyphers they stay in place "Black Friday" has symbolism and no meaning "black friday" to many refers to the day after Thanksgiving or Christmas which everything is sold at a reduced price or virtually free the meaning carries over but doesn't at the same time because at the present time everything we do is free but well as the weeks go on it may or may not gain a meaning whatever the case may be it's a JL thing #KanyeShrug all  I have to say today

#Starchasers Project

Shoutout To Chris Baker! (His Picture)

A couple of people have tried to get this concept going for a while now. Unfortunately I have only heard of a couple tracks and a full tape (Correct me if I'm wrong.).

Alright so,

This tape will consist of 10 tracks.

1. *US #Starchasers- Us Placers. Lupe Fiasco.

This track's concept is to explain who we are, Starchasers but also our own artist. we aren't ripping off Charles Hamilton's name. We deadass pursue the dream as well.

*Even though this track is already closed if you still send your tracks then i will continue to mega master them down and include them in the tape.
2. We Stars, Course We Shining- Charles Hamilton

This track's concept is to basically show that we are shining as well. Express this through story, straight OHDEE bars, or any other way you can.

3. StarBeaming- I'm Beaming, Lupe Fiasco

This track's concept is to show that we are united as a family. We aren't just a bunch of fans, we are believers and in that we deserve to stay together and support each others musical dream.

4. Starchasers, Represent For Them Girls- Brooklyn Girls

This track's concept is to basically represent your women from whatever city you from. This could range from L.A- Wyoming. No matter what city you are in represent your women!

5. Straight Bars- DJ Premier It's All Real

This track's concept is to spit straight heat. Show that you have the ability to turn off all bodily functions and OHDEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

6. Starchasers Till The End.- Starchasers- Charles Hamilton

This track's concept is to show your loyalty, to not diminish yourself from the music and state true to yourself. Don't worry bout the fame, worry about yourself being changed.

7. Delivery Is Key - Delivery Or Digiorno's- Charles Hamilton

This track's concept is to show your delivery. Show that your delivery is better then the Busic (Bullshit+Music) that's being played on the mainstream. Demonstrate using hard bars and everything!

8. Talent Show- Charles Hamilton

This track's concept is to show the talent. Open-ended concept.

9.  Two Chances, One Take- Two Straws, One Cup- Charles Hamilton

This track's concept is to show that you can't be without H.E.R. (Music). Open Ending.


10. Happy Ending- Charles Hamilton

This track's concept is to end this tape with a bang. STARCHASERS!


Hit us up for the instrumentals. Most you can find on youtube but ask us if you want us to send it to you!


#Starchasers Stand Up!







I Typed In Just-Us League In Google...Look What Popped Up -_-

Oh Lord

Google has this picture on its images, as the 1st picture on the first page. I know everything we post to the internet will appear on google, but i didn't know that this would pop up on the computer on a SCHOOL computer, with no prior knowledge of The League.

This was our initiation, the first project that we, as a group, completed. Unfortunately, it was our worst as well.

Good Things?

Our lyrics were solid, the concepts were original, and the instrumentals we used fit the group. It was also on hotnewhiphop.com's most hottest recent artist, and their top downloads as well, scoring in at download 617. Our first song on the tape, Angels, got 1679 plays. Listens were booming, almost rising in numbers 300-400 times a day. Someone was bumping our music.

Bad Things?

Sound quality was garbage. GARBAGEBAND VERSION 3.0 ON A BOO-BOO LAPTOP. It had a lotta promotion but it was annoying to some people (don't care). Plus we gotta whole lotta hate was well. Overall it wasn't our best. Horrible work ethic. The comments that are on the mixtape comment are #Deadass what people said about us.


You must go through Trials and Tribulations(Song Idea?) in order to get better.


This is a perfect example.

High School Society... Are We Losers???







 

To a certain extent, yes. We don't fit in the norm of the school. For example, when people usually speak to us, it is in a mocking sense. People seem to think that The League is a joke. Is it?

Take into consideration that we put our heart and soul in our music, and sometimes we don't get  credit for it. However we didn't ask so it isn't that bad then right?

If you don't like the music then that's fine. Even if you think we are joke that's alright for you to think.But if you disrespect the work ethic that we have put in then we have problems!

Will we do nothing about it? Probably not, except we will proceed to continue dropping the music that S.H.E. deserves (shoutout to Common Sense). Cleansing what garbage (I won't even call it music because it's not, I'll call it Busic [Bullshit+Music]) is playing on the radio isn't the main focus of The League.

It is to present music to the masses without conformity to the mainstream. 
Continue listening and supporting.

It's The League and don't forget it.

Where Have We Been, We've Been Here The Question Is Where Are We Going

To be honest we haven't left we've been going places but none too far away never fell off to those who've stuck with us you know that we've been slept on we've had our struggles as friends and as a group in general but never once have we split contrary to popular belief we've added members dropped members had a member who dropped himself currently have a ghost member who pops up out the blue we have numerous affiliates (shout out to Elvin and Space.Age.Music, Starchasers what's good the list goes and goes) but as far as the definite and only members of The League (JL) Are J.Styles, Erion, D, and myself so no one just adds themselves this is a brotherhood (no secret society though) so to those who had a question about who we are there is your answer

New Blog, New Style, New Everything...Not Really.

 Had to discommish the blog that we had before. It was full of susness, no management. Plus we didn't know how to handle it.

Decision= New Blog


Along with that we developed a new sense of style. The only thing is that we had this style the whole time. So does that mean we are just showing ourselves again? Indeed.


Our profile with all of our stuff on it.
