J dilla donuts full album Even the guest spots from legends like CeeLo Green, Talib Kweli and Ghostface Killah slot in perfectly to the masked bandit’s universe of cartoony doom. Produced entirely by DJ Dangermouse and Doom himself, the 16 cuts operate on a complete shared vision. For the first time in 10 years - and to the delight of hip hop hoarders the world over - Lex are reissuing the record that is arguably the finest chapter in Metal Face’s mysterious and ominous history.

During the late 1970s and early 1980s, several men's professional slow-pitch softball leagues were formed in the United States to build on the growth and talent in the booming men's amateur game during this period.

The American Professional Slow Pitch League (APSPL) was the first such league, lasting from 1977 to 1980. In 1981, it merged with the North American Softball League (NASL), which had played only one season (1980), to then create the United Professional Softball League (UPSL). The merged league competed for two seasons, before disbanding after the 1982 season, ending the pro era of men's softball.
