L.E.G.A.C.Y.

On account of his depressing life experiences, <a href="spotify:artist:6gojCDLq10HLqBddPZx8IH">Justus League</a> rapper L.E.G.A.C.Y. (an acronym for Life Ends Gradually and Changes You) combines his skillful yet dark lyrics with morose wordplay. The traditional hip-hop influences like <a href="spotify:artist:3PyWEKLWI0vHPmoNrIX0QE">Rakim</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:30fiiwr2EeZp1tAhzYCmyM">Big L</a> are evident in his style, but he also cites the similarly bleak songwriting of rock legends <a href="spotify:artist:1QB4oo4JbSRdxNyidIuD0W">Jim Morrison</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6pAuTi6FXi6qFQJ1dzMXQs">Kurt Cobain</a> as having a deep impact also. The North Carolina MC was inducted into the reputable <a href="spotify:artist:6gojCDLq10HLqBddPZx8IH">Justus League</a> collective in 2001. He had already known its chief producer, <a href="spotify:artist:4s8ZGMVf3OiPktSP4ulpqU">9th Wonder</a>, as a co-worker, booking reservations at a Holiday Inn, but both of them did not know that either did rap music. As soon as L.E.G.A.C.Y. joined, he and <a href="spotify:artist:4s8ZGMVf3OiPktSP4ulpqU">9th</a> churned out a number of songs together, some appearing on his 2003 Legsclusives mixtape. Interlaced with themes and excerpts from the 1996 movie Fight Club, his debut album, Project Mayhem (also a reference from the movie), was released in mid-2005. ~ Cyril Cordor, Rovi
