The Song:

The last time we checked in with League510, they were releasing their debut retail EP, Believe In The League. It's been a minute since then, but the League hasn't lost a step - or their signature feel-good swag . On the contrary, the Bay Area foursome, comprised of Monty, TK, Mr. Knowitall, and DJ Blacksmith, are poised for a triumphant return, complete with a newly developing sound, and are celebrating that return by flipping Flying Lotus' "Computer Face/Pure Being."

After stumbling across the track as background music for a Cartoon Network commercial, the League realized the beat was simply "begging to be rapped over," and the rest, says League510, was history. The end result was the flipped track, which the crew dubbed "Soul of a Synth," a title, according to League510, inspired by "the super swinging, heavy, and soulful drum cadence and the layered 8-bit, video game-style synths." League510 impressively rides the off-kilter production, in what comes off sounding like a completely natural collision of the League's bouncy flows and Flying Lotus' less-than-orthodox production. "We made the track to display our style, the positive attitude and strong lyrical ability," explains the League. "We're back - and better than ever."

The Background:

Emcees TK, Mont, Mr. Knowitall and DJ Blacksmith better known as League510 are pioneers of a sound that is all their own, Town Techno. With a sound that is out of this world, League510's musical journey began in a galaxy far away from ours. After traveling the universe for years, they entered our galaxy and our planet shortly thereafter. With sights on our world, the quartet chose to land in the hills east of Oakland, CA. After hiding their ship deep in the hills they approached this new town with great curiosity and were immediately amazed by the vibrant culture that they found. Adopting the Bay Area scene as their new home, League510 wasted no time in beginning their new musical journey here in our world. Using advanced abilities, the four emcees quickly mastered the art of sound and gave birth to Town Techo, a form of music that would unite the people in heightened awareness; to show them to take action, to appreciate the fun in life, to believe in themselves and to believe in The League.
