BALANCE #565 - Hosted by Spacewalker

Dam-Funk DJ Set At Sweater Funk Feb. 2011 (Plus live performance "Whats on your mind")

Get Down with Illa J and Amp Fiddler. Introducing Illa J’s second single “Get Down.” This track offers a glimpse into the creative life of John Yancey, a versatile artist known for his skills as both a rapper and singer-songwriter. “Get Down” is from his upcoming album “No Traffic,” which is entirely written and produced by Illa J himself.

On this soulful track, Illa J is joined by Detroit legend Amp Fiddler on the hook. Fiddler’s contributions to the music industry are vast, having worked with some of the biggest names in the business, including Prince, Moodymann, and J Dilla. Speaking of J Dilla, it’s a ‘Fantastic’ fact that Amp Fiddler is credited with introducing Illa J’s older brother to the Akai MPC in the ’90s? That revolutionary moment changed the direction of music forever.

But let’s get back to Illa J’s lyrical prowess. In “Get Down,” John’s playful style and delivery are on full display as he runs through various aliases from JohnClef to JohnDWayne. With this track, Illa J showcases his musical versatility and gives listeners a glimpse into his world and creative processes. As the chorus says: “They Don’t Know,” and this is your chance to find out.

If you’re a fan of Illa J, don’t miss the chance to pre-order “No Traffic,” his first solo album on the iconic label BBE Music. And if you’re new to his music, “Get Down” is the perfect introduction to this talented artist. Finally, you can rest assured that this track is mastered with love by the Carvery Studios. So what are you waiting for? Get down with Illa J and Amp Fiddler today!
