From deep musical origins in Detroit, rapper/singer/songwriter Illa J has been slowly navigating his way through the oft-turbulent waters of Hip-Hop since the tender age of 13, when the young John Yancey aka Illa J wrote his first rhyme alongside his brother, the late great J Dilla. After his brother’s passing in ‘06, he began teaching himself piano, bass and taking vocal lessons while finding himself touring the world and recording a slew of Dilla-related projects, notably being an active member of Slum Village until 2014. His first solo album, '08s Yancey Boys and the Frank Nitt 2013 collaborative album Sunset BLVD were both released on seminal label Delicious Vinyl. Feeling the need for a change creatively as well as geographically, in 2012 John moved to the future music hotbed that is Montreal ultimately making the connection with Canadian producers Nick Wisdom & AstroLogical aka Potatohead People (whose acclaimed Bastard Jazz debut album Big Luxury in Spring 2015 featured Illa J on two hit singles). The success of their initial collaborations inspired the team to dive into the studio and embark on Illa J's new self-titled solo album, and present an entirely fresh sound of his own.
 
The album Illa J, produced without any samples by Potatohead People alongside a few groundbreaking co-producers, showcases a more mature and at-ease Illa J who is equally comfortable on top of an electronic boogie-inspired beat (“Universe”) as he is getting grimey over a trunk rattling G-Funk joint (the Kaytranada co-produced “Strippers”). On tracks like the sparse, Rhodes driven “Cannonball” (co-produced by Montreal’s Noo Bap), and the early 90s Spiritual / Acid Jazz inspired “Sunflower”, Illa flexes his muscles through both song and rhyme. And of course being true to his roots, the classic Detroit boom-bap sound is ever present on joints like “French Kiss”, “Perfect Game” (quite possibly Rap’s only ode to bowling), and “Never Left”, a touching tribute to his brother and a call-out to abusers of Dilla's legacy.  Vancouver mainstay MC Moka Only contributes invaluably to the cohesive sound of the album as well, providing signature smoothed-out vocal choruses to tracks like “She Burned My Art”, “All Good Pt. 2” and “Who Got It” (co-produced by Mosaic). Dropping Fall 2015 on Bastard Jazz Recordings, Illa J is a brilliantly-produced, diverse, and long overdue solo effort from Yancey.

Redman says whats up

Lyrics: 
Crack a dutch roll it up now da deisel got me stuck
And my neighbors mad at us cuz their fam is high as fuck
Steady rollin blunts and u know we just..riide
Runnin wit the posse headin straight to the west siiide...
Excuse me as i kiss da skyy..how high...
Smokin wit my niggas all niiight...
Fuck da purple rollin only on that sour kush...
The sativa got me hyped flowin like a shower could
I dont know why . this healthy herb . is illegal..
the government is pushin all the drugs that are lethal
Murda, corruption, nothin for the people..
This life is like a movie get prepared for the sequel...
Roll another one, reefa got me feelin hectic..
Hop up on the mic jus prepared for me to wreck shit
For 1991 ill take you back in tiiime...
To smokin on da curb wit ya homies wit my rhyme...
Neva livin a lie im jus smokin da tah..
Makin a classic cuz u know it dnt stop
Steady Feelin wavey cuz i neva miss the tide....
Floatin gettin lifted till i kiss the sky...

Rollin, cheifin, barely eva speakin...
The chronic got me zonin to a world of heavy thinkin...
Provokin, locin, smokin in the open..
Strollin wit da homies hide from popos an the ropin...

The dopest of the brothas locked up on some bullshit...
Puttin on the news an see the homies i was cool wit....
All my life thinkin bout how they wanna fool kids
Earth is upside down when the greedy try to rule shit..snnhnsnh
The NZA..the NZA..
passin me ya herb cuz u know we gonna mix up..
The kush..an the kryp..an the dab wit the cola
Im grindin for the kief that we add when we roll up..
Chillen all day aint gotta work all week..
Life is pretty funny when u like to smoke weed..
And the things that i see, its like some shit on TV..
Friday the movie, and some shit wit bruce lee...
Smokey is somethin like my homies on the daily..
Smokin all the weed and when its time to pay they play me..
Fuck the bullshit, do ya got the 5 on it...
Cuz if not you aint gon be puffin on this chronic
