From the iLL-News section:


Those of you who have been to an iLL-Literacy show know that we always start by telling you that we're gonna take you on a journey. In the past few years together, we've certainly been on one, and we thank everyone who's been along for the ride.

For us, one of our great challenges is creating poetry and music that work together in just the right way that gives that special tingly feeling you get when you hear a dope ass poem, but also the longevity of your favorite song. It's not something that you really come across often, but when you do, it's magical.

Us being the picky people we are, have been through a lot of different sounds, and it's one of the reasons we still haven't dropped an album after this point...we've only wanted to give you something that WE would bump too!

The thing about journeys, though, is that it's not always just about the destination. It's about what happens during the ride, and sometimes taking wrong turns, getting lost, and finding your way back again.

With that in mind, we're going to be throwing up tracks that are still in the works, but something that we'd like you to hear. Most of the time it'll be incomplete, levels jacked up, sometimes we'll like it sometimes we won't, but it's part of the journey.

Our first track is Adriel and Ruby's "Burgundy Bruises," produced by Charlie Darker. Still working on the hook and bridge, but we laid down some rough cuts of the verses, and thought you might like to hear them. Enjoy!
