Every generation has a few artists who never receive the critical acclaim they deserve. Their work generally goes unnoticed by mainstream media but their following, albeit small, is cult like. The ILLZ is one of those artists. It may be premature to call The ILLZ underrated. His career is just beginning. After releasing The Pursuit and In Between Video Series, The ILLZ’s stock is rising. To say I’m a fan of The ILLZ is an understatement. It was a humbling experience to meet up with him in his home state of New Jersey. He discuses how he got his name, his fans, producing, the state of the music industry and more.
