DJ Booth Exclusive Freestyle

The 109th entry in our DJBooth.net Freestyle Series comes courtesy of The ILLZ, the Jersey up-and-comer who earned rave reader reviews for mixtape tracks Crazy and Heaven (Higher). On his brand new, previously-unreleased Prelude to the Sickness freestyle, the currently-unsigned rapper flows over original boardwork by Ill Tal. ILLZ latest full-length, The Pursuit, is set to drop before the end of ‘09, followed by the official music video for Heaven (Higher) and a new single, Melfi. In 2010, ILLZ and Ill Tal will rejoin forces for a collaborative project entitled The Epidemic.

Readers can download a copy of the newly-released In the Booth (Volume 2), featuring freestyles 31 through 60, here! In the Booth (Volume 1), featuring freestyles 1 through 30, can be downloaded here.

Some people may not be up on my man Illz, stop sleeping. Ever since I heard the man flow about a month ago I was impressed by his fearless honesty and lyrical ability, and his DJBooth freestyle's got plenty of both. If you don't know, now you know.

As always, pleasure working with my homey The Illz and shot outs to DJBooth.net for the feature.

As always, I surprised how the Illz was able to bring the beat to life and totally kill it. Nice change up from the alternative/new school sound he's been doing with "This Is" and "The Pursuit".

The Epidemic coming soon! For all those who love a gritty, boom bap, NYC, dusty record, drum breaks sound, get ready!

This is dope, like the break in the middle where he slows down the flow, then brings it back again.
