iLL-Literacy

The asian american artists that i came across were in the latest Hyphen magazine. their name is iLL-Literacy and what is really cool about them is that they are unique. the reason why this group is so unique is because they are mainly spoken word artists they just incorporate hip hop and music into their poetry.

the group started at UC Davis and evovled to incorporate funk/soul/hip hop and electropop. they have made it so that not only do they have spoken word fan's attention but the music community as well. this enables people to dance to spoken word which i think is amazing. they record their music in sacramento ca and are currently finishing their first EP.

since this group is so different from others i believe that they will really suceed. i hope to hear their music in the future and possibly see them make it big. i think that a group like this deserves a whole damn lot of credit because you can imagine how many stereotypes and molds this group has broken. i definitely respect the fact that this group is so dedicated to what they do and it seems to me that their creativity will tkae them to the top.
