LiAngelo Ball Drops New Album 'League Of My Own' After Tweaker Success
Six months after his debut single became a breakout success, LiAngelo Ball has dropped his first full length album.
The artist known as GELO released "League of My Own" on streaming services after teasing the album with a YouTube trailer video last month.
GELO's 13-track album includes the viral hit "Tweaker" that was released as a standalone song on Jan. 3. The song earned him an invitation to perform during NBA All-Star Saturday night at Chase Center in San Francisco on Feb. 15.
"Tweaker" also made an appearance on the Billboard 100 chart at No. 29 for the week of Jan. 18 thanks to 12.4 million online streams. It was also No. 7 on the Hot Rap Songs chart.
Ball joined Shaquille O'Neal and Damian Lillard among professional basketball players who have had a song in the top 100. The chart performance of "Tweaker" earned GELO a record contract from Def Jam and Universal Music Group worth up to $13 million, per ESPN's Shams Charania.
In the time between the release of "Tweaker" and the album dropping, Ball also released two new singles "Law N Order" and "Booted Up." The full album is a breezy listen at just under 37 minutes.
