GELO, the rap world’s favorite choice, isn’t just the third Ball brother anymore. As the tracklist for his highly anticipated debut album, “League Of My Own,” due this Friday, July 18, via Def Jam, is revealed, there’s no doubt he’s here to become a force within the hip-hop world. Having already earned his stripes with fiery hits like “Tweaker,” “Booted Up,” “Law N Order,” and “Can You Please” featuring GloRilla, GELO has now shared the 13-song tracklist for “League Of My Own” through pre-save links on Spotify and Apple Music. With fans hoping for a few more high-profile features, there’s space for the occasional surprise when the album drops for real.
The most remarkable thing about the launch of this album, however, is that GELO has flipped the script. Once the ridicule of Chill, who didn’t fulfill the NBA potential of his brothers Lonzo and LaMelo, is now winning an entirely different race, rap. His sound is a mix of Southern grit, polished production, and a definite chip on his shoulder, making “League Of My Own” more than just a catchy title, but rather a statement of purpose.

GELO’s ascent is painstakingly designed. And with co-signs from rap heroes like Lil Wayne and GloRilla, he’s established bona fides. The release of League Of My Own sums up his evolution: scrubbing up from bit part to leading role. This debut might be a turning point. Whether you’re a fan of basketball, hip-hop, or just like rooting for an underdog, GELO’s “League Of My Own” is set to deliver something personal, polished, and powerful. July 18, meanwhile, signals his official arrival to the game, one he’s evidently prepared to lord over in his own style.
