True story, Athletic Mic League’s Jungle Gym Jungle is one of my favorite LP’s ever. In 2004 I had just graduated from Indiana University, and a few weeks later found myself living and teaching in L.A. as part of Teach For America’s training. I fell pretty hard for another TFA corp member, and would walk around campus with AML in my CD player with “Team Player” on repeat singing to myself, ‘girl, tell me what it takes to get you on my team”… The CD got me through some tough times, and it’s a story I’ve shared with Buff and KT many times. Anyway, the crew is going to re-release the album now that Buff and Mayer Hawthorne (DJ Haircut) have gotten more notoriety since the original release. So, check out the “Team Player” remix, and look for the full album soon.
