As I mentioned when the “Whiplash” video dropped and previewed this track at the end, “Young Black Male” is one of the illest records of the year, hands down. Even though the Pac Div homies haven’t shot an official video for it, this fan made project using clips from Boyz N The Hood works quite well.
“Rickyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy” 🙁
Flawless track(s) and video, though I would have loved to see “Young Black Male” get a full treatment. That’s one of my favorite songs of the year and every verse on there is fire. Directed by Carey Williams, who also handled duties for “Pac Div” and “Throwing My Money.”
If you haven’t downloaded Church League Champions yet, what are you waiting for?
Ahhhhh, are you kidding me? This is so ridiculously fresh. As soon as I heard this song a while back, it was an instant classic. The video is simple, but works and captures the mid-90’s vibe nicely. If you missed Pac Div on SNSS, check out the interview here and please download Church League Champions ASAP if you’re still sleeping…
A little before Pac Div dropped their Church League Champions project, Like, Mibbs, and BeYoung came through the Sound Session studio to chop it up on a variety of topics. We discussed that mixtape, the digital EP they put on iTunes a while back, and of course their upcoming full length debut, Grown Kid Syndrome. They also talked about the importance of their live show, how their creative process likens to their game on the court, their favorite underrated West Coast MC’s, the L.A. scene, a possible collaboration with Andre 3000, and much more.

This was one of the most enjoyable interviews I’ve done, mainly because chilling with Pac Div reminded me of kicking it with my college homies back in SoCal. These dudes are real hip-hop heads who love Dilla and basketball…pretty much all it takes to be cool in my book. Plus, we’re both fans of the Arizona Wildcats and even spent time commiserating over that damn 2001 NCAA Championship game. For the record: I still hate you, Mike Dunleavy.
The long awaited mixtape from Pac Div, Church League Champions, is finally here and it’s heatery, as expected. As you can tell by the brilliant title, Like, Mibbs, and BeYoung are huge hoops fans and I actually have a great interview with them talking about their music and their favorite sports memories. Any dudes who love the 2001 Arizona team as much as I do are alright in my book. It helps that they’re dope ass artists too of course…
Interview coming soon, but in the meantime, bump that new new:
