Am I Still Illmatic?

About Me

Jonathan and Carlton have known one another all of their respective lives. Jonathan’s guitar playing is extremely distinctive, just listen to the lush melodies... Carlton’s pulsating bass carries each tune away to its supposed destination. They carried this established relationship onto the campus of Morehouse College. Thomas brings an array of sociable funk to the proceedings. Shane came to the band in search of a white crayon. Instead of continuing his visual art effort, he decided to play the keys in a post-punk/soul band. Who would’ve thunk it? The death of ignorance in black culture as we know it........is here!
