J.U.S.T.I.C.E. LEAGUE'S MYSPACE PAGE
We rarely work with producers; maybe it's just us, but the media doesn't seem to care much unless they have a hit song "RIGHT NOW!" Fortunately, that is never an issue with Grammy-winning production team, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, who consistently stay on the charts. The list of critically acclaimed singles these guys have produced goes on and on but, since "RIGHT NOW!" is what seems to matter, we can talk about Rick Ross' current single, Magnificent ft. John Legend, currently on the R&R Urban airplay charts at #24 (up from #35) and Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip Hop chart at #29 (up from #42).
J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League seem to have a special chemistry when it comes to Rick Ross. Fans of Ross' last album, Trilla, will recall the critically acclaimed tracks for Maybach Music ft. Jay Z, Luxury Tax ft. Lil Wayne, Trick Daddy & Young Jeezy and Billionaire; all produced by the guys. Other stand-out's from 2008 include 2 tracks on Young Jeezy's album, The Recession (Word Play, Done It All), B.G.'s smash single, I Hustle and the nationwide smash hit single, She Got It ft. T-Pain & Tay Dizm, which went platinum in ringtone sales.
Hailing from Tampa, Florida; Rook, Colione, and Kenny, are three individuals from three totally different walks of life; coming together to place their footprints in the sands in hopes of one day being mentioned among likes of today's and yesterday's "musical greats." The individual members themselves, who were once all soloists, came together and formed the group; each bringing with them different elements which, in the end result, provides for their unique and complimentary sound. Colione, the southerner of the group, loves hard drums, infectious melodies, and synth-laden beats that give the group the edge that's needed to deliver that dirty south sound. Rook, on the other hand, brings an east coast swagger and influence on the group with dusty samples, a classic drum break approach to making music, and a blend of vinyl driven ear-popping drums, along with a meticulous approach to recording vocals. Lastly, there's Kenny, the musical tie that binds the group together; being a master of sax, keys, and woodwind instruments, his ability to fuse his talents with the production style of the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, makes for a clean, edgy, warm and masterful sound. Their individual strengths serve as a testament to the diversity of the music they create, which ranges from all types of Hip Hop, new and old styles of R&B, to Rock N Roll and more.
In October of 2004, the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League did the unattainable for a newly formed team of musicians/producers; thanks to the ear of industry veteran and at the time new-hire to the company, Chris Hicks, they acquired a lucrative publishing deal with one of the biggest music publishers in the world - Warner Chappell Music Publishing. Both impressing and confounding their peers alike, they were able to accomplish all of this without even a song on the radio or any published works in their catalog at that time! Their sound speaks for itself and once you listen, you will instantly recognize they have that gift and deliver great music for fans of all genres to enjoy.
Adding to the various platinum, multi-platinum and gold plaques under their collective belts, the J.U.S.T.I.C.E League received a Grammy for their work on the 2006 R&B Album of the Year, The Breakthrough by Mary J. Blige.
J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League has had the privilege to work with, or be a part of projects for some of today's more established and elite artists such as: Mary J. Blige, Toni Braxton, T-Pain, Young Jeezy, The Game, Rick Ross, Jay-Z and Ludacris to name a few. The League is constantly in the studio, working not only with today's heavyweights, but also with tomorrow's future stars, continuously pushing themselves to keep providing the music their known for, while simultaneously trying to raise the production bar. In 2009, they continue to blaze the trails they've started and forwarn you to be on the lookout for the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, as the group guarantees to keep putting MUSIC into today's "Music".
Look out for J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League at the upcoming ASCAP "I Create Music" Expo 09 in Los Angeles, April 23rd - 25th, where the guys are featured panelists and available for all Los Angeles media opportunities.
