About Me

..This profile was edited with MySpace Profile Editor MySpace Profile Help!
Whats in a Name??? ..Il.Poetics is the definitive example of true craftsmanship in hip hop music. Il., is representative of Illinois, where emcees A.D.I.O and Osiris B. honed their writing and mic skills. Poetics is defined as, Poetic theory or practice; poetic feelings or utterance, which these wordsmiths use to nimbly sculpt their wordplay over soundscapes provided by the Production team known as, The L.A.B. Pros who are synonymous with the duo. For the last five years, Il.Poetics has been challenging the status quo music format, and bringing a refreshed breath to ears starved of real substance in the genre. Through their commitment to, Change the way people listen to music, Il.Poetics stays focused on providing, More than just words on paper and a hot beat. Music allows people to temporarily escape their reality, and live in the momentWe want to provide them with the means to escape! " It is through this gift of music that Il.Poetics will continue to break barriers....one love
