"Settle for Best" is a heartfelt ballad of societal reflection expressing the hardships of growing older individually while also acknowledging a need for a collective positive change in the world overall.   

Settle For Best

This track to me is about people who pretend to be your best friend to your face, but then talk negatively about you behind your back.
Preach it.

The riff's been around over a week. Had some recording nightmares with fragmentation, don't ask! However melody and lyric line were memorable so this is reborn! Lyrics were written whilst watching stage 2 of Le Tour!! Vive Le Tour!! Give it your best shot.

September has started with a bang 3 songs in a week and the Fifth album for 2020 nearly completed. 

I've been told 'September Song' is unmistakably my style. I'll take that.

Hi! My name is Ryan Holden, I go by Illustrious. I'm from Middlesbrough England. I'm a Lyricist/Songwriter, singer & Rapper. I produce beats too but also need producers to collab with!

I have a team of people around me and we support each other everyday through daily struggles by sharing our music and our passion. If you want to feature on a track or want to collab just send me a message on here or on any other platform in this bio below! The more the merrier! 
EVEN if you don't think to message me because of any reason. DO IT anyways. Honestly as long as your beat hits my ears, I'll write on it. Much love all!
I used to go by CatullusRP.
I have been rapping for 3 years but writing poetry and lyrics for much, much longer! so I'm still new but growing each day.
Any queries for collaborations or if you want lyrics writing please contact me on: ryanholden1@yahoo.co.uk
Anything named "SilentBoyIsHere" used to be a group. Me and the producer kept this going and made a few solo together. We make a few tracks sometimes but It's only me rapping & the beatmaker as the previous american rappers are no longer rapping but you will hear them in a few of the tracks!
Enjoy guys.
