We have a few BIG THANGS to finish up the 2nd quarter.
Check it!
Robot Dreams! After Me!
Well this album will not die before it has a proper release, so, with
the help of our European friends, we have agreed to release a nice new
and shinny version on the album on Twenty
Four Seven Records out of Sweden. This new release will have the original
9 tracks as well as 3 remixes by (Mr. Dark Keys/Elon Is and E&J),
and a few unreleased instros all on one CD!! With new packaging by FlavorInnovator
and in a jewel case, it will be one to get. This will be one of the first
times that we will have world wide distribution on an album, so if you
see it out at your local store, swoop it up. We will not have this new
version available for sale on the site. HOLLA
Murs
Check the new MURS DVD “Walk Like A Man” with cameos from
Argonaut and his room, and make sure to peep Sunset Leagues on the soundtrack
with the track “Miles To The Sun” produced by Rhythm X, a
bay area legend. (Disflex6 love in the murs commentary! Say Word!)
Ill Audio Mix Tape
If you get a chance and find the new pressing of this Bay Area reppin
mix tape SLAPPER you will a find the Elon & Argonaut (E&J) produced
track featuring Murs & Jean Grae, “5AM”. The pressing
plant messed up on the first try and missed out. The new one should be
hitting the shelves soon.
Writers Block
The Sunset Leagues crew has been branching out lately. Young Elon.Is just
did a beat on the new Writers Block album “Next Stop,” Elon
comes through with another bumper.
EditoriaL
Also check for a Elon.is and possible Argonaut track on the new compilation

The SLI camp continues to build and create!! Everyone has been working on new stuff. Ehnertia has been hitting the studio working with Capsize on a lot of good music. Disflex6 should see the release of “SLOW BURN” (finally) and a new album of outtakes called “LOOPHOLES” in 2006. We are still working on the new Lazerus Jackson album so look for that next year as well. Until the cows come home PEACE!!!

Apologies for the site being down ... fuckin' hackers
(haters)
It's the end of the year wrap-up with some big announcements on the horizon.
First, we want to thank all the fans who continue to support us in all
we do. If we didn't do it for us we would do it for you-- REAL TALK.
Last year saw the release of the second P.B.S album, "WAR OF ART," and
a solo album from EHNERTIA, "LATE NIGHTS EARLY." We also introduced you
to our SEEDS SERIES with "FOUND," and "ROOTS ROCK IRIE." If you happened
to sleep on any of these projects I highly recommend you get them. If
your local hip-hop store is not carrying this stuff I urge you to tell
them to get it in there! … As we celebrate 5 years of making no money,
SUNSET LEAGUES INT'L will release two DISFLEX6 projects: the long lost
e.p. "ROBOT DREAMS," and the new full-length album "SLOW BURN." We'll
also have new joints from the whole crew, with gears already cranking
for a new LAZERUS JACKSON album. And with new volumes of the SEEDS SERIES
to go with every project! ….. this could be our year.
+Music+
I know in the last update we said "GUTS 3" was available ... but ...we
had to go back in the lab and fix some tracks. But now it's finally ready
for the masses. CLICK
HERE to get the track list and the ordering (buy that shit!) icon.
To all the heads that want to hear the "SLOW BURN" album: don't worry,
we are going to drop that on you this year ... but ... we have some unfinished
business. In February we will be putting out "ROBOT DREAMS" on cd and
vinyl. The cd will have a few tracks that were NOT on the bootleg soul
seek version. We will also have a bonus cd, "ROBOT PARTS," that will have
the instrumentals and tracks that didn't make the album. Stay close and
don't sleep, DREAM (= we might have a slow burn mp3s on the site soon
=)

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, young and old,
welcome to another episode of the Disflex6/Sunset Leagues news update.
Although the site hasn't undergone many changes in the past few months,
we have been hard at work at the SLI headquarters, preparing our upcoming
2004 releases. Below you will find news on the current SLI and affiliated
releases, some news on our upcoming projects and some extra thang thangs
... feel free to browse at your own leisure.
+Music+
As you might have heard, Sublevel Epidemic has just
released "Turning of the Worm", the solo album by the Lip Service, Elevators,
JKC quick tongued mc Randy. The album was entirely produced by SLI's own
Elon.is. The album features guest spots by Disflex6 mc Jason the Argonaut,
JKC founder and mc Optimus Rhymes and ellow Elevator mc, Bhrodi. The Worm
is currently available through your favorite online web stores including
So Far West and
Access Music,
as well as at the Amoeba super-store empire.
In other SLI affiliated music news, the full-length debut album by sometime
Sunset Leaguer Z-Man, has now officially dropped on Refill
Records/Hiero Imperium. Entitled "Dope or Dogfood", Z's new album
has been getting much due praise and press as the world is becoming aware
of what we here at the headquarters have known for quite some time…Z's
got spit, bay area style!! Word Billy!! And best believe if you didn't
already snag a copy of his and Elon's album "Anti-Nerd", then you're too
damn late, cus that bitch has done been sold out for months now. Actually,
on some top secret tip, some copies were recently spotted at Amoeba in
LA…make that happen quick young rellies.
Continuing with the music news, the new PBS album "War of Art" is in it's
final mixing stage, and as you can see if you have checked the site recently,
the cover art is on point as usual, thanks to our graphic arts wizard
Mr. Flavor Innovator…
The album will be released this spring…Heads better do their homework
and complete those reading assignments, cus Mercury and Lazerus are bringing
pure brain food for those who are tired of watching as our "great nation"
continues to rape and pillage the world like a baby throwing a tantrum…All
you Bush supporters might wanna steer clear of this one!
So what else is Disflex6 working on you ask?? Well, don't wet your little
diapers, because the D6 is bringing more heat with it's upcoming slew
of releases. The first of which is entitled "Slow Burn", featuring all
new material from your favorite indie hip hop titans. Set to drop late
Spring '04, "Slow Burn" is nearly complete. Stay tuned…
