Lyrically iLLz, The Next Spoken Word [S.L.E.]

Lyrically iLLz (James Eastman), Talent off the raw streets of Jamaica Queens, grew up in a family with a background for show-biz and music. An individual who recently got into rap at the young age of eleven years old when Hip-Hop and Alternative Rock were being combined as a musical composition. Born in the year 1988, his generation and age-group were brought up in a technical society where computers and musical devices were storming the economy. He was a problem child in school, never had good grades and only paid attention to the more social things in life such as his personal identity, close friends, girls, and obviously music.The road to Lyrically illz becoming a Hip-Hop artist is similar to other upcoming rappers trying to do the same thing, he started writing poetry and rhymes when listening to songs by various rap artists. But his lyrics are very different. Most mainstream and even underground Hip-Hop artists today write about the hood, the violence, the money and jewelry that comes out of it, they never educate in their music, they just brag about the things that they have and how they came from nothing to something. Lyrically illz was sick of such lyrics and songs and resented the fact that these artists had talent and degraded themselves as human beings by showing a greedy, obnoxious side to them, a very ignorant side. While growing up and going to school, he watched and even conformed himself to the personality traits of a stereotypical Hip-Hop fan. He ended up in a gang-related rap group of six people and went through many different ghetto's trying to promote music as a Spoken Word rapper.Currently, Lyrically illz is respected as a young unsigned rapper from New York City holding down the "poetic underground". He has a mediocre reputation but his music has a huge impact on his fans worldwide. Meeting up with another upcoming rapper from New York City, Young AD, they established a group called The Street Lyricists and got together a third member, ShyDevy, to join the movement. Today the independant group has little recognition but they are working on making it big. Everything takes time and with a few promises it won't be long before the Street Lyricists are getting the respect and appreciation they deserve. Lyrically illz is one of the most hard working, spoken word hip-hop artists in the underground music world, with no record deal and no contract signings, he's able to spread a message through his music to his fans everywhere whether through websites such as Myspace or Soundclick or even to people locally.
