Today, the newest addition to Payday Records, Philly born & raised brother rap duo, BlumBros release their autobiographical track “LS6” off of their upcoming debut EP Thank Da Jects, entirely produced by MAKJ (most known for his collaborative tracks “Countdown” with Hardwell, “Shakalaka” with Steve Aoki, “Let’s Get Fucked Up” with Lil Jon, and more), seamlessly colliding the worlds of dance and rap on one project. Hailing from the Blumberg Projects in North Philadelphia, the team of BlumBros x MAKJ gives listeners a high energy peek into their come-up. After reconnecting with each other as teenagers and creating music as a duo, the brothers realized that through their craft they could do two things; live their dream and share their story.

The song opens with a sitar-sounding guitar riff, reminiscent of past and present rap legends such as Swizz Beatz, Notorious B.I.G. and Lil Kim. Leading with MAKJ’s signature producer tag of a car speeding by, BlumBros proclaim “put my wrist on froze / I’ve been getting lit since I was 6 years old”. With the title “LS6”, or “lit since 6”, the rappers melodically explain how they have been grinding to the top since they were little kids, beginning with various foster homes and family struggles – the BlumBros are truly self-made. Able to fuse genres effortlessly, MAKJ’s release with BlumBros signifies a shift in his musical direction as an open format producer. Represented in his genre-defying DJ sets as well as relaunching his radio show and touring brand as “Open Format” MAKJ’s new direction sees him focus on hip-hop, latin and other musical infusions whilst still catering for his loyal EDM fans as he begins this exciting new stage of his journey.

“Nobody from our neighborhood has ever been on a plane really,” stated BlumBros. “So, when we recorded this EP, we made history just traveling to LA to record with a hot DJ/producer like MAKJ. We come from two different places but made a crazy project. No matter where you are from, music can bring everybody together and that’s what we want to do.”

“Working on the BlumBros EP was great,” said MAKJ. “Me and the guys connected on a musical level and they came ready to work. I wanted to approach the production in a way that matched their energy but didn’t sound like every other rap record that you hear. I brought my experience of playing live sets into the studio and we made magic. As executive producer of this project I’m extremely proud of what we have created.”

Able to fuse genres effortlessly, MAKJ’s release with BlumBros signifies a shift in his musical direction as an open format producer. Represented in his genre-defying DJ sets as well as relaunching his radio show and touring brand as “Open Format” MAKJs Collaboration with the BlumBros showcases his ability to create a genre bending sound, that is true to hip-hop but also still caters to his organic EDM fanbase.

The crowd roared and confetti cannons boomed on Sunday, 29th of July, as the Overwatch League, the world’s first global professional city-based esports league, completed its inaugural season with the Grand Finals at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. In front of a sold-out live audience, the London Spitfire captured history—and the first Overwatch League championship—in a 2-0 victory over the Philadelphia Fusion.

“I can’t put into words how proud I am of this team,” said London Spitfire owner and CEO Jack Etienne. “The players, the coaches, Robin Lee, Susie Kim—all of them have shown such resilience to bring us to this triumph. A lot of people wrote us off, but no one on this roster and staff stopped working on getting better and they’ve shown that with this phenomenal playoff run. Thank you to our fans that never gave up and supported us, sometimes watching in the middle of the night. The support we’ve had has been overwhelming and we’re thrilled to have rewarded that support. Thank you to Bobby Kotick, Nate Nanzer, Pete Vlastelica, Mike Morhaime, Jeff Kaplan, and everyone on the Overwatch League team for putting together such an incredible inaugural season. I know none of us will ever forget it. Aces High!”

The Overwatch League Grand Finals on 28th to 29th of July were streamed worldwide via the primary digital viewing experience on Twitch, as well as on MLG; in China on ZhanQi TV, NetEase CC, and Panda TV; and broadcast to US audiences on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, and Disney XD, along with a highlights show on Monday, 30th of July, on ABC. The ESPN broadcast was the first time live competitive gaming had aired on ESPN’s flagship network in primetime, while the ABC program was the first esports championship ever shown on that network.

Inclusive of these TV networks and streaming platforms, the estimated global average minute audience across both days of the Grand Finals was 861,205. The U.S. average minute audience was 289,175, with an estimated 45% of that total, or 129,792, falling into the 18–34 demographic. Worldwide, the 18–34 average minute audience was 605,013.

“Having cross-platform success, especially among the coveted 18–34 demographic, showcases the Overwatch League’s strong fanbase. Marketers seeking to capitalise on the growth of esports among the mainstream population should take note of the league’s multi-platform approach to broadening reach,” said Nicole Pike, managing director of Nielsen Esports.

“Overwatch League started as one of the most ambitious projects in esports history,” said Twitch cofounder Kevin Lin. “We worked together with Blizzard on many new innovative experiences, including a Cheering rewards program, the All-Access Pass, exclusive Twitch chat emotes, a feature-packed interactive Extensions overlay, and more. Seeing our efforts draw an impressive and passionate audience on Twitch for the Grand Finals reflects a promising future for the league.”

“Congratulations to the London Spitfire, who had an unforgettable season and championship run,” said Pete Vlastelica, president and CEO of Activision Blizzard Esports Leagues. “We had a number of ambitious goals for the inaugural season of the Overwatch League, and all of these came together during the Grand Finals at Barclays Center: we showcased the pinnacle of esports competition, we created value for our partners, and we reached millions of fans. I can’t think of a better position to be in as we look ahead to the 2019 season of the Overwatch League.”

The regular season may have ended, but the fun isn’t over yet: the Overwatch League returns to Blizzard Arena Los Angeles 26th to 27th of August 2018 for the action-packed All-Star Weekend. Sunday will feature a series of custom skill matches, while Monday will see the Atlantic and Pacific All-Stars go head-to-head in the official All-Star Game Powered by Intel.
