A League of Our Own Vol. 3

YouTube · Post by **Philaflava** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 5:23 pm

For those that do not know, I put out two compilations called A League of Our Own. Vol. 1 dropped in '02 and Vol. 2 came out in '04. Many of you will remember Vol. 2 because agent b did a killer job on it and Hasefefer mixed it. It also featured then PF members Godamus Rhyme, Supastition, Red Clay, Kimani Rogers, Kno, Tonedeff and PackFM.

Itגs no secret that trying to make a profit, let alone break even on CD pressings these days are practically impossible. Itגs even more impossible should the album be a compilation, so I will not be pressing this up, at least not at this time.

I started out with so many underground/indie people and Iגve seen most of them fade away. Many retired, still discouraged and some flat out broke. The passion remains though. So I am really considering doing Volume 3, which Iגd like to release this spring. Between the talent on the board and across the internet I know I can put together an impressive showcase.

If you are seriously interested in submitting material for this project please let me know. Do not send me any MP3s at this time. Right now I just want to gauge the level of interest and gather more information before I proceed with this. Iגll be reaching out to artists Iגve worked with in the past as well so please understand while this might be another Philaflava compilation, it will not be a גmessage boardג compilation. I want to feature talent on this board, especially since we have so much but this wonגt be limited to just PF members.

What Iגll be looking for is a custom or exclusive track for this compilation. No previously released material please. If youגre not an artist but would like to offer up some help with the graphic design Iגd be grateful as well. Iגm looking into the גbandcampג idea but Iגd only do it if I could work out an arrangement that is fair to the contributing artists. If not, the album will be available for free download.

Post, PM or email Philaflava@gmail.com if youגre interested.

Down for graphic design. Don't think I'm on "the level" to contribute music.

Just so you know I'm not looking for a "name." I put on people I had NO clue about like Red Clay or Flii Stylz. Not many people knew who Godamus Rhymes was either. I'm all about top quality on this.

you should go bandcamp either way imo, it just looks more professional and generally competent than dropping a limelinx link

Something is wrong with the forum software. Mindbender's post went where Chance's is supposed to be and vice versa.

Im down to submit a track, what do you want exactly?

he photoshopped the bra straps to look like they're off, that's a quality resume right there

New Supastition would be dope.

Can we please get a Lord Willin'/Mindbender collaboration please? PLEASE.

Just hit you up, Gloss.

Dids · Post by **Dids** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:40 pm

To be serious- Chance's beats would more than stand up against the quality of the previous two comps (both of which are good). I haven't heard his raps enough to really judge.

i'd happily participate, even to supply a beat or 2 to some MC's who might want some'm to rock over.

Not sure the direction of this project yet. I'll keep everyone posted once I get an idea of who's down.

I agree and it would be fitting if he appeared on volume 3 being that he was on the first two, but he officially retired.

...which would make this the perfect place for a final bow career retrospective song, no?

And I am interested in contributing.

Tayo's the best producer on the board, hands down. He should just produce the entire fucking thing. I'm sure he could with all his boom bap throwaways.
