This here is my gift to Chicago and the rest of the world. “Sidetracked” is an unreleased 22-track solo project executively produced by Ill Legit featuring the likes of Pugs Atomz and Wes Restless as well as production from Khalfani (Impolite Society) and Dario x of Chicago indie rock band Blah Blah Blah. The bulk of the material was recorded in 2012 but has been compiled and combined with brand new tracks and never before heard songs. Oh, and did i mention that its free? Donations are accepted tho.
released 25 December 2013
This 15-track masterpiece of music by Ill Legit features sultry soundscapes from the likes of Dario Ecks, Tensei (Plug Research), Japandrew, OneTwoKno, Dj Alo and Illy himself.
Ill Legit & Drunken Monkeee form The High Channel and have been making music under this name for quite some time now. This particular song produced by Dario Ecks was recorded in 2007, but we literally filmed, edited and put this out yesterday. One-take ish. Less than an hour of filming. We've been diggin' in the vaults for inspiration lately, and on this afternoon we were dying of boredom and were kinda goin crazy from the Chicago heat.
Ok so i finally decided to start posting stuff. I guess i just didn't know what to begin with. But here it is. Vol. 7 of my ongoing mixtape series entitled "The Life & Rhymes of Ill Legit". I have 20 volumes of theses mixes all completed just chilling on my mac. I've been sitting on all this music for a minute now, like since 04 till now! And im seriously dedicated to putting it all out... or at least the majority of it. The problem is it takes way too long to upload on the site! Maybe thats cuz im using my neighbor's wi-fi. Or maybe cuz i got 250 songs in total to upload and i got like 180 left to go. Idk who cares. It'll be up there at some point. Stay tuned and check em out. I mean, its free music. How could you go wrong? You dont even have to download the whole thing if you dont want to. You can pick and choose what songs you want. How convenient.
Side Note: The 1st song on Vol. 7,"Hate Me Too", was recorded in 2007. So that gives you an idea of what era we're in on this mixtape. I'd say i was ahead of my time too, cuz cats are just catching up to me and my concepts...
