ILL malotta aka Blitty born Michael Blackwell is the oldest of four siblings
with three sisters. I grew up in a very unstable environment born
mixed decent. I grew up in the poor sections of Scranton P.A.
Moving from housing development to housing development, where I struggled
to deal wit neglect, hate and racism. since a child most of my life had
been confusion, bouncing from foster home to foster home to my mother
abandoning the family at age 12 transitioning from a black family to a white
family feeling never truely accepted.(except from my father) with that beeing said 
its very relevant to how my music comes about. I write my life what i go thru
what i went thru what i feel What I do, what im thinking and sometimes from
my imagination.
I started rapping at age 12 freestyling but not seriously when I was 17
I dropped outta school and went to job corps in Pittsburgh where I practice my
freestyle,When I was 18 I started writing and producing beats at 19 I recorded
my first song call P.A Dont play(It was terrible)at age 20 I released a 8 song
Ep called "Whats the deal" Right before I released it I spontaneously came up
wit my name freestylin in a cypher one day and it stuck,by 21 I was winning freestyle
battles from NY to philly and in between. I was starting to make a name for myself
at age 22 I put my music career and lifetime dream to a stop due to gaining custody 
of my then 2 year old dauhter,for several years I struggled losing job after job to 
lack of a babysitter,in the meantime still writing and producing music.
In 2007 I Had another little daughter in 2011 My first son was born that 
same year I released Product of Jungle Fever never really promoting or truley chasing
my dream as if my motivation disappeared for a while I gave up on music, then something
happened something unexplainable something unbelievable something I thought was impossible
several artist I met unexpectedly helped bring back that spark almost as if I had awaken 
from a coma. I finally realized I am a master of my craft and world and people wanna 
hear what I have to say, currently I am releasing a compilation mixtape called The Beginning
wit 2 of the 3 artist who helped bring that spark back Joe Schmo & King Coly 
Im always working on music constantly mixtape and original I know this is only the 
beginning of my potential the best is yet to come.
Inspired by artist I decribe as the GREATS such artist include:Michael Jackson
Marvin Gaye, 2pac, Biggie,Pun,Big L,DMX,James Brown,Whitney Houston,Bob Marley, Jimmy Hendrix,
Doug e fresh, The Fat Boys,Kurtis Blow,Slick Rick The Beastie boys,LL,Whoodini and more.
The Artist who inspired me to rap are Krs1,Big daddy kane, Eric B & Rakim,Epmd, Wu Tang,Redman,
Naughty by Nature,Mc Lyte,Public enemy. In all honesty I Love creating music I love spitten bars
I love when people tell me something I created touched them or made them think whether negative 
or positive thats the whole point its what I'm Meant to do, MUSICS MY DRUG.
The Future looks Bright,time to leave the darkness behind in time I'm gonna shine till 
the whole worlds Blind.
