Who doesn't mind doing it when it hasn't been done?

In an industry where most artists are forced to conform into a narrow and artificial identity, Illa Straight strives to transcend the boundaries, and uses his diversity as his greatest strength. His ability to effortlessly bounce between club and RNB tracks, to creating thought provoking songs that convey everyday situations, make him a versatile artist who can create the soundtrack to people's lives.

He describes his essence best through his name, Illa Straight. “My music is straight ill, and if people think I’m illa than the artists they’re used to hearing, I’m gonna be straight with that. I’m illustrious with my passion, which fuels my creativity; my rhymes are my palette of paint, my mic is my paintbrush and my audience and studio is my canvas on which I achieve my ultimate goal of illustrating my take on life through music."

Music is my passion, and lyrics is my fashion.
