We are three cats from South Africa who fell in love with hip hop at different times, different places for different reasons.But we some how bound into a dope triangle of force that generates eclectic concepts, influenced by our experiences and perceptions of the world we inhabit. The three elements in this cluster is Jimmy Flexx(Macav), Tommy Jinx(Uno) and Macho "The Fire Breather". We met in the Cape Town underground scene, where we would cypher together with all the other raggedy ass rappers on some lyrical bohemian **** have changed since then though...as that disgruntled culture wasn't healthy for the development of "underground hip hop".We're still raw and organic though as our joints do attest and we still knuckle dust the shit out of self-indulgent, tinsel town rap.The only thing that had to change was the modus operandi. We can't be bitter about the state of affairs, we gotta fight strategicaly for our place under the sun.We hussle...jumpsuit and boots, shoveling for truth.Anyway, we paid our dues with interest, and are looking to bumrush beyond borders. Hip Hop in SA is in it's infancy still and because TV and Radio promote Rythm and Bling(R&B), we've sorta looked to Europe and the response is good, The USA i guess is over saturated so it's kinda difficult to make it there...even for americans who still maintain the essence of this artform. Most cats who we feel are quite successful in the underground in a sense that they still sell a respectable ammount of units around the world, are from the US. Def Jux, Stones Throw and Rhymesayers,etc are influential labels and have kept us all inspired and motivated for days. I.L.S is therefore commited to pushing our shit across the world to give the children a new perspective,food, water,oxygen and shelter. I suck at doing this. When we can afford it,we'll get someone to do cool write up on the crew (in the third person like most ultra cool bios
