Happy To Announce

Clarity [EP] is done. We're less than a week away from its release. Last week I dropped a 72 bar verse as a promo just to give ya'll an idea of what I'm on and the new vlog episode will be out tomorrow summing up the interview I had yesterday regarding what to expect on the project and more. Trying to give you guys as much as I can.

Two Bronze Medals on the Beat 100 Chart

My music video for Closer To My Dreams won two bronze medals on the Beat 100 chart. One for high quality and original video with good production values, and the other for well written original song. Thanks to those who voted and hopefully I'm fortunate enough to be in the running again when the next video comes out.

PSA

It seems the harder I try with people, the more they don’t. I always find myself out of the proverbial loop when in retrospect I was once so vital. Nobody looks out for me as much as I do for them, yet for some reason I continue to do so and in turn, get extremely disappointed on a consistent basis. It’s a recurring role that I can’t escape and I’m sick of it. I don’t have my life together in the slightest, yet I’m trying to help them out whenever I can, but when it’s their turn, they can’t even keep me in mind. It’s cool, I guess as usual they get what they want out of me in terms of assistance and once they think they got it from there, I’m pushed off to the side. I wish I could say this has only happened once, because that’s enough for a lifetime, but I got it through my thick skull now.
I didn’t want to focus on me when I could help others because I thought it would seem selfish, but I see that no one else with any kind of pull or power who can help when I need it thinks to do so. I just get replaced and forgotten. Not anymore. Aside from O, Ward, D.Lo, Doc, and Calvin, nobody asks how I am, but believe you can always catch me checking up on people just to make sure they’re alright in times of need, even when they don’t ask for it. Honestly, the majority of people I know just get faker and more full of themselves and it’s sickening. You have no reason to feel this way and it’s time instead of fading to the background that I shine some light on the bullshit since everyone enjoys acting like it’s cool and nothing’s wrong. If you cared, coulda fooled me. If this is how you treat people who have been good to you, I hate to see how you treat your enemies. Actually, it’s probably the same.
Those who are good with me, you know who you are. I’m in the process of creating the greatest music of my life and the best hip-hop music any of you will have heard in quite some time in my opinion. If I don’t show confidence in myself, obviously no one else will. I know what I’m capable of and unfortunately for those who choose to continuously cross me, you don’t. I can be just as fucked up as I am nice, I just chose never to show that side of me, but I suppose it’s time for a new look.
P.S. - This doesn’t change how I feel about the artists I respect and vice versa, or my ill supporters who show love for me and want to see me prosper. This is just an adjustment that is needed in order to give myself that push that the nice side of me simply can’t provide. Any of us would do anything and everything to achieve our ultimate goal. I hope you understand.

I Owe Ya'll Thanks

I just want to take a moment to thank everyone who's been listening  and sharing my music. "The Reality" now has over 20,000 views on Datpiff.com and that's all because of you guys. I'm in awe at how much this exceeded my original expectations and couldn't be more grateful to have you, my ill supporters. A new chapter is beginning in this trilogy and the first single for it comes out Wednesday so all I ask is that you don't stop now, because greater things are on the way, and that much I can assure you. With the fullest amount of sincerity, thank you all.

With love and admiration,

Ill

Sharif


I can't believe it's been 5 years. Guess time really doesn't heal all because I feel just as sad and upset, if not more so, than ever before. You are so special to so many people and it just doesn't seem right that you aren't here to share that still with all of us. I think a part of me still won't accept that you're not physically here because it seems incomprehensible. That being said, I constantly think of you and reminisce about our times both in and out of school. I love you and will forever miss you man. You're always with me in mind, heart and spirit. R.I.P.
