Pac Div: Church League Champs

One of the hottest tracks from earlier in the year was Pac Div's "Mayor," a Kids In The Hall- sampled joint that channelled the old SoCal indie rap scene and positioned the group for better things to come. The vibe of their music got many a Hip Hopper checking for them and now we have a new offering, the Church League Champs mixtape. I had a chance to hear the ragga-inspired "Young Black Male" a few days back then peeped the whole joint and it doesn't disappoint with some frantic old school beats, dynamic wordplay, and chemistry between the three members (B-Young, Like, and Mibbs) and a group that doesn't take themselves som damn serious in the Rap World circa 2009. The Church League Champs is a primer for their major label debut later this year, but you'll think of it as a regular LP release, it's that cool.

Best yet? It's free. SG got you the hook up. DOWNLOAD HERE son.

Slush,

You got a nice column here. I take a minute to check the Colorado sports rap weekly. I went ahead and downloaded that Pac Div, but gotta say, 'I'm not feelin' you'. I thought the beats and rhymes were soft as a pillow.

Respectfully,

Pac Div and like minded groups wil hopefully give us a 2nd Generation of real hip hop from the west coast in the same vein of Hiero, Aceyalone, Pharcyde, etc from the mid90s.

^AC- Thanks for reading brah. The best part about not digging that PAc Div is that is was FREE. Maybe they are saving their A+ beats for the LP

^Anon- Lets hope- alot of good WC acts now- Swim Team, Dilated, Jay Rock, Bus Driver, etc.
