Think About It

Take Your Time was written performed and produced by ILLA Streight and is just the first of many more Funk / hip-hop remix's he has done to pay homage in his own way to the music he grew up on like this hit from S.O.S Band. Being released as promotional for his upcoming DA REAL DEMO a 4 track disc of similar fun music, so enjoy...

4. Take Your Time

Another remix produced and written and performed by ILLA Streight,    ALL ALONE is a remake of a 1991 Color Me Bad classic. Newly divorced ILLA's lyric show a change in mentality AGAIN for this one of a kind hip hop artist.

Da Real Demo

2. All Alone

Stepping out his comfort zone of traditional Str8 rapping with that ILLA flow, ILLA Streight tries his songwriting skills at R&B lyrics with his own attempt at singing and serenading the beat that he also produced. Stone Cold Luv is Streight's dedication to Medusa (Representation of Scandalous female).

1. Stone Cold Luv

Remixing a Stevie Wonder classic "Master Blaster" ILLA Streight was inspired by the original chorus and expanded on the idea feeling that it's still a "Rough World". Verse 1 begins by telling us, "Save the children, they the future unless you kill them", even though this was written and recorded the previous year (2016) it probably is more evident now than ever. Rapping about reality has always been a passion for ILLA despite the lack of fame and money it may bring, staying true to what he believes and believing in what he says has kept him grounded. Wanting his fans to Pay attention rather than pay money all of ILLA's previous releases have been free downloads on his social media links, "Rough World" is a free MP3 download and is a featured on ILLA Streight's mixtape "Society's ILL's". Please continue to listen and share his music with a message.

Rough World

"....It's a new game,
these broads playing 2 friends,
the cats chase the dog now i guess that's the new trend.
Not 4 me yo, bro, 
I'm a D-O...(G),
til I D-I....I'll be high....
Lower me below...."

Falling Apart

ILLA Streight's journey to becoming a hip hop artist has spanned over 20 years and seen its fair share of interruptions. Writing lyrics from the early age of 10 and recording in professional studios at 16 he is definitely a veteran to the recording grind. His first independent project  released was under previous name Indo and was titled "Da Real" recorded at Eco Chambers and produced by Jecklez Productions. Unaware at the time of how much work had to go into promoting his music  after it was finished, the slow momentum broke ILLA's drive and he started focusing on other things in life, putting his premature music career on the back burner. Recording in and around the Toronto area for random studios, ILLA Streight can now say he was mastering his craft because with limited releases of his tracks he never felt his lyrics were up to par until of recent. Factors such as incarceration and then leaving Canada for 5 years changed ILLA's priorities in life, making music nothing more than an occasional hobby.  True talent is a gift that should never be wasted, once he noticed that he reunited with hip hop by recording again, but now found himself living in his birth land of Guyana.  As ILLA found himself as an emcee again, he was given the opportunity  to record at Syckahmoh Studio with local producer Kevin Mccammon.   Sounding better than he ever did before the one thing that was missing for him was original songs, everything had been recorded over industry instrumentals and at the time in order to get original beats he had to go back to Canada and link with old friend  Lee'Rick's of Beat Bully studio. Returning to Canada in 2015, ILLA Streight had become a complete artist now. Learning how to produce beats and also writing the lyrics to the song, his feel for music was natural and the motivation to complete his current project "Painting Pictures With Words" was inspired.  With tracks such as "Welcome to the North" and "The Night Awaits",  hip hop heads can hear the versatility in his style with a smooth laid back flow compared to the up tempo funky track. The Ep offers ILLA Streight's debut video for his self titled single and "Liv Az 1", both directed by Westnyle Fx, plus more than half of the songs are produced /written by ILLA Streight.   What the future holds is unknown for ILLA all he is concentrating on is making positive real music and try to get it heard by as many of those who need to hear it.  Noticing the void  between the West Indies and Canada within the hip hop community, that was reason good enough for ILLA to start releasing his own music again with the intentions of building a common ground between rich and poor nations using music to engage and uplifting each other.
