The League of Extraordinary Gz
Austin, TX

They say everything is bigger in Texas, so of course our final hip hop artist is not a man or woman but an entire league. The League of Extraordinary Gz is a Central Texas super group born out of the combined efforts of three separate cadres of compadres: C.O.D., Dred Skott and Southbound.

Since their members have performed alongside the like of the Wu Tang Clan, Wiz Khalifa and Dead Prez, they all took a significant risk restarting their efforts at national recognition by joining forces.

With this much lyrical talent and the combined wit of eight rip-roarious MCs, however, they may just be stronger as a unit.

Their self-titled debut is really funny. The quintessential marijuana anthem “High As Fuck” starts with an obvious enough Cheech & Chong sample, but from there it does things with the genre that are downright inspired.

About halfway through the chorus, one of the Gz remarks, “Damn I forgot how the rest of the hook went, something something something smoke weed everyday, I forgot what I was supposed to say.”

It’s not all laughs though, tracks like “You Can’t Bury Me” bring that southern fury with a gargantuan bass line that will pop your subwoofer and a hook that will take hours to get out of your head.

It sure stuck with the promoters over at POP Montreal, who invited the league to perform in Quebec this last September. With the level of talent, hilarity and Central Texas flavor that the league brings, that’s sure to only be the beginning of their international success.
