Where do we begin? This is a record that’s been in the making for quite some time. We sat in countless studio sessions with Future, Wiz, Ink, Salva, Mike N Keys, DJ Khalil, Jaycen Joshua, etc. and worked on this record until we feel we had it where we wanted it to be. “Ball Like This” celebrates the aspirations of the kid growing up in South Central to the kid creating that new tech start up. We all make sacrifices to get where we want to be. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO BALL LIKE THIS! Thank you to everyone who contributed to the making of this. Your time and talents are very much appreciated! So without further ado, “Ball Like This.” – L.A. Leakers
