Whats up I been rhyming for over a decade. Summer 2001 me & my cuz decided to record an album with our home-computers/tapeplayers. Shit the rest is history, because I dropped album/mixtapes in high school geting better each time. Then I started a Chi-Town buzz for my first indie label debut The Stash and the follow up The Stash 2:D&D; I knew social media would be the next step. my music speaks for itself & it's taken me to some unbelievable places. I'm early 30s now & I love real music as you could probably tell. These albums are talking to you about what really going on with me personally as well as what's going on in our society today. Dealing with issues such as being young, stereotyping, racism, girls, doubters, drugs, revolution, being real, believing, LOVE & so much more. This is what will save modern day hip hop........these are my albums or mixtapes or albums/mixtapes/projects i have produced on, worked on, or been featured on: CHI TOWN VILLAINS Greed, Hate,&Envy dec01, MD Get Real sep01, D-TRAIN The Compromise dec02, D-TRAIN The Definition nov03, SHY THA BRUISER Shy Flip Mixtape oct03, SHY THA BRUISER Shy Flip Mixtape Part 2 sep04, D-TRAIN THA BRUISER Chi-Town's Finest apr04, KEY ALUMNI (classes of '01-'04 all in dec), D-TRAIN The Graduate may05, KEY ALUMNI For The City Vol.1 feb06, KEY ALUMNI In The Key We Trust Vol.1&2 06&07 all inDec, CEO In That Order jul07, D-TRAIN Da Sawbuck aug07, D-TRAIN&BIGEAZY New Vocabulary aug07, Big Eazy U R What U R jun07, D-TRAIN&CONTAGIOUS The 7 Wonders feb08, D-TRAIN The Stash apr08, THE UNDAGROUND RAILROAD Midnight Train To Guantanamo mar08, CONTAGIOUS The Element Of Surprise jul2008, D-TRAIN&CONTAGIOUS Flashback jul09, D-TRAIN Six Pack Mixtape may09, CAPTAIN DESTRUCTO Mixed Messages jul09, D-TRAIN The Stash 2: Darker&Deeper sep09, KEY ALUMNI You Only Live Twice Mixtape sep2010, CONTAGIOUS The Love EP dec2010, D-TRAIN F*** Monday dec2010, CAPTAIN DESTRUCTO Ill Prepared aug2010, ALL LIVE ENT.

Getting close with the vinyl and communicating with the audience is still a matter of honour. Old School Intelligenza meets untainted turntable music with genuine love. According to the principles of the pillars of this culture an elder B-Boy introduced Turntill to the world of Rap, Djing, Breaking and Writing. He owns the smooth enthusiasm of an allrounder in all disciplines. That's why Turntill never fails to deliver even to folks that heard it all. No played out tunes! Turntill presents only the finest sets gathered during thousands of hours of digging in crates. All was carefully chosen to party and to spread knowledge. Who's got the funk?
