About Me

The iLLyspiLLaz concept was birthed when neutral links brought about the inevitable team up of Jk tha Dramatist (D'Cypher/Pandemonium/James Kirk) & Tones (Strange Tongues /Ill mo figgah) creating together with other local artists out of a love of raw beats and rhymes.

Formed when different rhymers and beatmakers began to rub shoulders amongst live jam sessions at the Wellington based Dugout Studios, respected and known as a haven for emcees, beatmakers, DJ's and musicians. New works are currently underway from the Palmerston north chapter.

The most recent findings of the collaborative crew is the EP 'A Bag of Dreams' comprised by the iLLyspiLLaz duo Scruffy Notes and JK.

EP/CD is available at 'Mango Music' Palmerston North and 'Real Groovy' Wellington.

Check out the pairs contributions on other releases: RedBack Villain EP, The long awaited Katipo Album, the Junktion Autumn 08 compilation and Flowz debut album "In the heart of the city"

Future releases from the crew include 'iLLyspiLLaz' album, wrekollectives mixtape & the Dugout Compilation.

Stay Tuned..
