Sounds Like: Hip hop it don't stop By Richie Victorino, Will Stewart, Caitlin Yorke and Hannah Oronoski [email protected] photos by James E. D. CookIlla Metaphors Homebase: Nashua, N.H. Plays locally: All over the New Hampshire/Massachusetts area in places like Manchester, Lowell, and Lawrence in such clubs as Cinco’s, the Underground, Liquid and Club Vivid. About the music: Their main goal is to write about real-life issues; their songs include “Be Careful What You Wish For” and “Life’s Too Short.” “Everyone in our group,” frontman Rum says, “has faced some big issues in life, and we try and get that out in our music.” The group is not all about hardcore music, Rum explains. “We do party songs and club songs, not just hardcore rap or street rap, also since Luscious is our singer, we have some r&b songs as well that she sings alone.” Illa Metaphors message is not just the usual street talk seen in popular rap songs today, but a message of real problems and issues facing everyone, issues that include love, dreams, and death. Rapping in the N.H.: Despite the fact that New Hampshire is the whitest state, Illa Metaphors has a huge following. About 500 people attened on of their recent shows. New Hampshire’s homogeneity as it is, is actually an advantage to groups like Illa Metaphors since the hip-hop scene is new and exciting, a breath of fresh air among to the countless country and rock stations on New Hampshire’s airwaves. ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ .............................A STYLE LIKE NO OTHER!
