The ILLZ - Come In

Producer: Passion Pit

Album: REUPSPOT Presents: New Slang

Label: Unsigned

With an uncanny knack for flipping eclectic samples into heartfelt, genre-blending jams that are nonetheless hip-hop through and through, Booth-approved up-and-comer The ILLZ has trained his fans to expect the unexpected – and on his latest feature, newly-leaked off Reupspot‘s New Slang compilation mixtape, he faithfully delivers just that. Come In finds the multi-talented Jersey native lacing a woozy synth groove borrowed from N.Y. electronic group Passion Pit’s Swimming in the Flood with characteristically impassioned rhymes, expressing his regret that life on the road separates him from his girl: “And I know, even though I’ve gotta go, for the time I’m away every second I will miss her…”“ This sweeping jam, along with K. Sparks’ Rock the Party and BOOGNIGHTS’ Cheers!, can be found on New Slang, released this past Tuesday and out now online. For more of the ILLZ’ emotionally-charged brand of underground hip-hop, check out his Booth-sponsored The Pursuit LP, available for download here.

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on January 18, 2010

GStan10 Tastemaker Total Ratings: 1327	Rating: GStan10's Top Rated Songs The Illz is easily one of the most talented up-n-comers. The man always brings such creative music. And the fact that he produces just enhances it. The beat was ILL (great pun right? haha jk). Anyway, I love how he has his own sound and cares about his craft. I'm deff watchin out for him this year.
