Youtube video- "Il-Rated Intro"

Here's an intro/theme song I did for my homie Il-Rated's radio show out in Chicago...
Cuts by the one and only scratchmaster: DJ Zo

FREE DIGITAL CD Next month!!!

Thats right, Im giving out a FREE digital cd to EVERYONE next month!!! It's gonna have all of my old school hip hop tracks from '07 including

-On My Feet
-Tie Your Shoes
-the Il-Rated Intro
-For Ma People
-Do Da Same feat. J Riggs
-A New Beginning

As well as some new ones that you've never heard... Of course "Never Fall 2010" will also be on there.
I decided to give this cd out for free because i want to show luv back to all the people that have supported and stuck with me as well as my music. All the way from back in '07 when i released my first track until today... Through my incarceration, ups and downs, all the peeps who showed luv through letters and prayers really got me through the hard times... If it wasnt for ya'll, I probably would have quit several times over...
Its also for the new family who may never have had the chance to hear any of the throwback joints. I really want to give those out for people to hear not just because they give you an idea of who I am, but because they are special to me. They have a very special place in my heart and I want to share them with you.
Hip-hop/rap and music itself is everchanging... I never want to get comfortable doing one thing. My aim is to be in a constant state of musical evolution, and of reinvention. So this year, Im dedicating most of my time into stepping back in the booth to make the hottest, burning your asshole tracks youve ever heard... Ill be collaboratig with some new people as well as some old friends that youre most likely very familiar with... Its a new year, time for some new SHIT!!! All the while enjoying the memories and sounds of the past... peace...

PS. Ill be posting the blogs that I wrote from prison one at a time in given intervals... They'll give you an idea of what its like to be "Locked Up," from someone actually living it... hollaz

Behind the scenes "Never Fall 2010"

Grinch Green decided to join the free world again… I found this out about an hour ago when he FB messaged me looking like Fu Man Chu (or a lil Saigon gangster) and told me about his 52-day adventure in the Twin Towers county jail… He got sentenced to 180 days because of good-old wacky tobacky. I cant believe that they are still sending grown ass men to jail over weed… ridiculous. Anyways, medical marijuana politics aside, we are finally a trio of Ish-talkers again and this comes without a moment to spare. We’re closing in on Christmas and I think another episode of TALKINISH is long overdue… So let’s do it right! The next episode of TALKINISH will be aired in front of a live audience at cafe Bleu on Dec.8. It will be open to anyone over the age of 21 so feel free to come party with us… On that day, I will also be releasing my first ever music video “Never Fall 2010.” The special guests who appear in my music video will also be the guests/musical acts for that night as well which include: Cuzzy Capone(The Slauson Boyz), Ben Baller, Lisa Kim Fleming, and Alexia Lei… So spread the word: TALKINISH is back!!! Hope everyone can come and join us that night… -IZ PS… here are some looks at “Never Fall 2010:”
