The six emcees of Athletic Mic League came together while still attending high school in Ann Arbor, MI. Known then as the Anonymous Clique: Buff, 14KT, Grand Champ, Texture, Tres Styles, and Vital joined forces with DJ Haircut and after two years of love and support from the local hip-hop community they made it official. Athletic Mic League was out to show the world what their brand of hip hop was all about.
By 1998 AML had blessed high school talent shows, house parties, and hip hop nights across Detroit. Following up with their underground classic demo The Thrill of Victory, The Agony of Defeat, the buzz grew to deafening levels. In 1999 they settled in Jersey City, quickly building their reputation and skills in the neighboring New York hip-hop scene.
They capitalized on their growing notoriety by dropping their debut album Sweats and Kicks which received rave reviews from the streets and hip hop tastemakers alike. It also afforded them the opportunity of a lifetime. Their debut was heard by Yasser Khan, an upstart young manager out of Detroit’s Barak Records. He was enthralled by their sound, and immediately set out to find what he knew was a once-in-a-career group. He introduced them to Barak’s CEO, RJ Rice. Rice, a well-known record industry executive, recognized that AML had their finger on the pulse of what hip hop needed: an infusion of originality. Rice is the man behind seminal Detroit hip hop act Slum Village, and knew that if given the proper attention, AML had a chance to make history.
Athletic Mic League spent 2003 under the tutelage of RJ Rice, soaking up knowledge on what makes or breaks records in the ever-changing climate of the music business. The results are astonishing. In November of 2003, AML released their single "Feel It" to a thunderous reaction from the hip hop nation. Their new album Jungle Gym Jungle, is a highly anticipated watershed moment for both Detroit and for hip hop music.
