Album Notes

The intense and energetic hip-hop duo, Northern League, kicked off their career not with an album or single, but with a slew of television and soundtrack appearances. Members A.B. -- named after One Life to Live soap opera character Asa \"Ace\" Buchanan -- and Keith Lo met while attending high school in their hometown of New Haven, CT. After graduating, the duo cut and began to shop their demos, while also making their mark in the mix-tape world, racking up 20,000+ sales independently. At the same time, A.B. and Keith developed budding relationships at MTV Networks and landed music placements on a number of the network\'s shows, including The Real World, Yo Momma, Bam\'s UnHoly Union, and Parental Control. Producer FS Beatz (Ming+FS) took notice of the young duo, quickly signing them to his label, Hustle Now Recordings. The trio immediately cut tracks that would later appear in shows at other major television networks -- ESPN\'s Tilt, HBO\'s Entourage, and Showtime\'s Weeds -- and in the world of film (The Architect, Delirious). In 2007, Northern League’s list of credits continued to grow, as their music was featured in CSI: MIAMI, Rob & Big, Newport Harbor, and their smash track, \"Gone In Sixty Seconds,\" was used in the major motion picture Stomp The Yard.

Northern League\'s debut album, Wet Paint, delivers sophisticated yet flashy street anthems that stick with you. This one is sure to deliver on the block.
