ILL LEGIT

In an age of Hip Hop where the early principles of the culture don't always seem to apply anymore in exchange for mass appeal, Ill Legit sticks to the script, delivers unmistakable flows and prefers quality over quantity; And his extensive body of work manages to provide an overabundance of both. With a sound that is distinctly fresh and progressive yet vintage, and a remarkable ability to lyrically "ride" diversified rhythms with ease, Illy is more than a breath of fresh air, but yet a breath of life into a culture that many say has passed away.
One of the most relatable personas on hip-hop's agenda, Ill Legit is slated to make an impact off his unparalleled beats and passionate lyrics. He is identified by his ultra-live performances and unique state-of-the-art sophisticated taste. An experienced musician ranging from bass and acoustic to percussion, Ill Legit has been writing music since 1996. Originating from a predominantly rock background, as far as his instrumental composing was concerned, Illy's Hip Hop lyricism and production essentially began in 2002 upon his arrival in Chicago; where he also attended Columbia College and earned a Bachelor of the Arts Degree in the AEMM program, with a focus in music business management in 2006. Since then, Ill Legit has performed along side artists such as Lupe Fiasco,The Roots, Redman & Method Man, Sadat X and the legendary Buddy Guy.
