(USA)ILLSPOKINN : 

iLLspokinn has been one of New York’s hip-hop cornerstones for over a decade through both his contributions to the scene and his scene-stealing performances. In addition to rocking the stage, iLL has made a reputation setting it for a number of successful and well-received events. He co-founded and co-hosts Freestyle Mondays, the longest running freestyle hip-hop open mic in New York City, now entering its eleventh year with recent international incarnations launched in Prague and France. iLL has also, alongside Tru Statement Entertainment, been the driving force behind the live Props to Hip-Hop concert series, a rap tribute multi-artist performance that’s quickly become one of Manhattan’s most buzzed about hip-hop events. 

This year, iLL expanded into the boardroom as the co-founder, Vice President and Manager of the independent multimedia production company Rae Maxwell Inc. 

When considering iLL has also had a #1 iTunes single, a chart-topping song in Spain, an album released as part of Rawkus Records’ Rawkus 50, a starring role in promotional spots for MTV, collaborations with Sadat X of Brand Nubian and most recently a series of successful international DJ tours (DJ VYNiLLspokinn), it's proof he's a success on both sides of the spotlight.
