Athletic Mic League: Who's Got the Vibe...
There’s alotta stuff coming outta Michigan that has nothing to do with Eminem and J Dilla, although both (woulda) should be fans. Athletic Mic League isn’t a new act. And at this point, being in the game for over a decade, the ensemble should be considered a clutch of veteran emcees and producers.
Releasing no less than three proper albums since the group’s inception, Athletic Mic League, for a short time, benefited from the sponsorship of Barak Records’ RJ Rice. As a result of not just encouragement from an industry type, but also the local acclaim that the group garnered prompted all involved to move out to New Jersey in order to be closer to the heart of it all. As so many stories of this nature, Athletic Mic League only stayed out there in Jersey for a short while. Bummer.
