The crew’s potential to appeal to any market was confirmed when they performed at the Obz Café in May 2005. They entertained a dominantly band-performing white audience. Quite a challenge it seemed, but this crew left the crowd yearning for more. To sharpen their skill they perform with their township peers and also make sure the rehearse prior each gig.

The biggest issue being Fire On The Mountain, this festival exposed them to a bigger crowd. Other spots that this bunch has performed are the Independent Armchair Theatre, Orchard Bank, Cool Runnings and opened for ProVerb at Chovicho in Rondebosch. Together with Driemanskap under the Diggin’ Deep umbrella they plan a string of gigs at the Independent Armchair Theatre and around the Cape.

Ill Literate Skill is a promising crew with a prominent undeniable future in the music industry. A triangle of unity- Macho, Uno and Macav intend revolutionizing hip hop in South Africa one track, one performance and one album at a time.
