It seems like the era of the rap group has been steadily disappearing over the past couple of years. Acts that started out as groups have dwindled to solo projects or disappeared from the radar. Although music history has proven it’s easier to go for self, artistically there can be strength in numbers to pick up the slack. The League is a rap group coming out of Long Island that’s given us hope in not only true hip hop in general, but also could come as a revival of the “Rap Group”.

The League consists of 4 dynamic members who each bring a strong uncanny uniqueness to the group. When TheOvun got a chance to sit down and talk with the League about their upcoming projects, Flip proved to be the most vocal in explaining what The League is all about:

Right now for upcoming artists, all that developing artists shit is dead. It’s been dead for a minute. If you’re not already developed coming with your own style, your own lyrics, like The League, your own gear like The League–we got our stamp. Ain’t no artist development to be had here, we ready to go…
