The Waxcafe presents: Hip Hop for Haiti: A few weeks ago, the good folks from PNC Radio’s: The Wax Cafe, Social Ebonics & DP One asked ILLZ to be apart of a fundraising for hati event at SouthPaw in Brooklyn. The event was a success and it was great to everyone come together for a better cause.
I had the chance to sit down with The ILLZ to talk about his current project ‘The Pursuit LP’, his future projects, goals for 2010, artists he will be working with & would like to work with, & more!
After months of recording, the highly anticipated “The Pursuit LP” is finally here. Hip-Hop artist The ILLZ delivers 11 solid tracks, all with their own unique, emotional journeys. Fans will recognize internet sensations “Heaven (Higher)” and “Melfi”, as well as “Prelude to the Sickness” featured on DJBooth.net’s freestyle series. In true ILLZ fashion, the album is a mix of eclectic, alternative/rock-tinged beats with a few surprises thrown into the mix, such as the New York club-scene flavored, “Let it Fall” and the gritty, Hip-Hop underground track “Dark Side of the Room”. Fans and skeptics alike will see a wide range of emotion, depth of character, and full spectrum of what Hip-Hop music can be.
Looking for an actress with screen experience to play the girlfriend to the artist. Your character will be going through a break up with the artist and there will be different scenarios expressed throughout the video showing the ups and downs of relationships. Must have the ability to showcase emotion and cry on cue.
