League510's compilation project Invasion Vol. 1 will be released in late June, but you can check out "When The Chips Don't Fall" the latest track off the compilation right now. The track, featuring Honor Roll Crew member 1-O.A.K., is a synthesized layer-cake of sound and soul, delivering velvet harmonies over the chorus and provocative lyrical styling throughout. It builds heavy from the start with space age, hypnotic keyboards, driving drums, and smooth vocals that snowball to a frenzied pinnacle as the chorus comes to a close.
The verses, courtesy of group emcees TK, Mont, and Mr. Knowitall, question the benefits of the baller-status lifestyle and bring listeners inside the world of League510's genuineness, as the crooning over the chorus matches the group's sentiments: "When the chips don't fall / and the broads don't call / would you still be down for me? / My life consists of more than this / worth more than this, it's business s*** / try not to get consumed by it / please divert your attention." The combination of League's verbal honesty and proprietary sonic style dubbed Town Techno carries on The League's tradition of innovation in the form of hip-hop. - Listen to it here
