"The MC ILL-J is, is one of the blueprints behind
the makings of Turbulence" - B-ROC
1. Marquiss was featured on ILL-J's first album "The Journey" on a song titled "SICK WID IT" which also features DASH, Nimbusnine, PKSO. This same song was the first time B-Roc ever produced a track for ILL-J, it was one of the last tracks recorded for the album. Consequently, the biggest Locked Down series of hiphop events was called Sick Wid It.
2. Eventhough I bought tickets to the Rekognize Album Launch, ILL-J brought me in to the show for free, cause I picked up his baby brother to go to Music Museum. This was way before there was even a thought of making a label out of making my personal beats.
3. In the song MY LOVE by B-ROC, which will be featured here soon -- he delivers lines like "Forever hungry, once again, let my journey be told" -- which contains references to ILL-J's classic debut album.
4. "Once Again" featuring Mike Swift from the Thinking Man's Hiphop cd was actually entitled -- IT IS WHAT IT IS. Hehehe, shoutouts to Chrizo's proof reading skills at a time when we were all pumped up on finishing the album already! This song was recorded the day after one of me and Mike Swift's famous Legendary wednesday recordings. If you hear it again and Mike mentions something about instead of getting pussy he's busting his ass to record, real talk -- the night before mad girls from my side of town was hollering -- hehehe. Shoutouts to Sunny Bandila who was there as well!
5. In the video "BOOKED ME A FLIGHT" -- where the lyrics went "It ain't a call for the money, or a call for the fame/ I just understand what role I should play"; you see a footage of ILL-J's performance for the B-Sides album launch all the way from 2005. This was done in reference to ILL-J's song "ROLE TO PLAY"
6. ILL-J was hand picked to star and act a section in Arkane's classic video campaign "Beyond, Beyond" in which ILL-J's portrayal as the hiphop elder statesman complete with support from his family -- was done to showcase our growth as a label, artists and fans of ILL-J.
