Title: Ill-Literate-Skill 'Off The Radar' Official Thread.
Post by: Uno. on October 29, 2008, 01:34:08 PM: Wsup AG Fellas

Its bin a minute I last posted sumthin here, but I wanna inform ya'll on a few things and update ya'll on whats goin on currently with Ill-Literate-Skill.

Since we came back from our Euro Tour which took place between April-June earlier this year, with the likes of EMC, Slum Village, Phat Kat and Marco Polo, we have prepared one of the dopest albums to be ever released outta SA for the whole world. It is titled 'Off The Radar' and will be due by end of October... although it should've been out by now. Production lists include Planet Earth, Nyambz, Mizi, Ootz, Max Magnum, Slabofmisuse, myself and also our band. Other features are Archetypes, Nosisi (formerly of Kwani Experience), Jazzlox, Logical from ETC Crew, and possibly Driemanskap... we bin clashing with our times on several occa**ions but i'm sure it will finally happen.

One of our members, Macho AKA Fire-Breatha, has also departed due to his own personal reasons. What else?... Oh yeah Redondo from Dreimanskap came back from prison which i'm sure ya'll know about it by now

Firstly tonight, although the CPT hip-hop scene has been dormant lately, you have a chance to check us out tonight as Zula Bar in Long St., playing along with our full band named 'Ill Skillz Playas'.

We also begin our 'Off The Radar' Tour with the Sum Village tour taking place in CT and JHB during November. Further shows will be updated as we go along. International tours with Elzhi in europe around February and USA around May. And interestingly enough we will be doing the CPT Jazz Fest next year with Ill Skillz Playas.

But yeah thats it for now, gotta continue with the hustles elsewhere and lets stay in touch.

Holla back at us on www.myspace.com/illliterateskill .

Easy does'it

Can I be his replacement :D

On the real though, been wondering why he hasn't been hanging out with y'all of late. Missed the show last nite due to exams, but Imma try hang around for the Cape Town leg of the S-Villa tour.

And please put an album aside for me...you guys rock. Peace!!! ;)

Post by: RearrangedReality on April 20, 2009, 10:31:50 AM: Couldnt make it to Zula but I was given a quick listen of the whole album on Saturday and its sounding HOT. only heard once though. Could possibly be one of the best this year.

Nyambz, Ootz and especially Planet Earth have really nice production in there.

MrC in particular is gonna love this album. cant wait to have another listen.

yo man i noticed that today and from track 10/11 the tracks dont reflect the order of the list on the cover. but honestly even though all this shit is important for artists to make they dont happen, i dont really care at this stage 'cause im still on a high because of this album. bumping it nonstop.

Uno's phone seems to be off will speak to him about that dawg alright.

Post by: RearrangedReality on April 30, 2009, 06:13:55 PM: If you also got the copy with missing tracks Uno says he is going replace it. apparantly there are just a few that have missing tracks. wait for him to let you know when those cd's will be availble at the Ritual store.

apparantly those two missing joints happen to be the best joints of the album.

Dont sleep on this shit yo! Illest SA product i've heard since POC. yes i said it.

That's a pretty heavy statement. While I won't go as far as saying so, it is quite a dope effort.

While we're on the subject of dope releases, 5th Floor's album is dope too, have you had a chance to check it out?
