About Me

ILLICIT hip hop. It's a free spirited and versatile combination of tight instrumentalism & visionary wordplay. The five boys from Utrecht, Netherlands have finally been signed, sealed and delivered. Their soulful tunes already entered countless bedrooms and their raw beats already shook many venues. But now, the first official ILLICIT record is here.Cheap Propaganda is a diverse piece of work. The compositions and lyrics remind one of The Roots, Common or Outkast at one point and of Prince and Sly Stone at the next. Drums, Bass, Keys, Guitars and Raps have been entwining for four years now. And it's about time soundsystems around the world get a taste of it all.Blessed with some guest scratching by DJ Sjam and some guest rhyming by renowned comrade Atactic and legendary Dutch old school crew The Proov, Cheap Propaganda can be described as either a simple experiment or a complex journey, whichever way you'd like to put it, as long as you put it on your top shelf.The German label Pottpeople released Cheap Propaganda in The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
