Using basketball as an analogy, Pac Div released the mixtape Church League Champions with the intent of documenting their growth from rec. league scrubs (the underground) to NBA all-stars (rap's upper echelon). So far their rise has been steady with accolades pouring in from all directions, including trendsetters like P. Diddy and Pharrell Williams. As of now the SoCal trio is working hard on a new mixtape entitled Don't Mention It, which ought to be a nice primer for their forthcoming album, Grown Kid Syndrome (due out this summer and featuring production from Swiff D and The Neptunes). Pac Div's tour of the Midwest will have them stopping off at The Shrine, where admission is free with an RSVP to PACDIV@theshrinechicago.com. If you're looking to get a crash course, you can download Swiff D's beat tape here and Church League Championshere. (J. Min)
