Illa Ghee – James Worthy [Stream]

Here’s another cut off of Illa Ghee’s “Social Graffiti” project, which drops next Tuesday, July 8th. “James Worthy” is an understated track that fits the subject to a tee. Illa Ghee describes his m.o. over an ethereal vocal sample accompanied by crisp snares. The song doesn’t have a hook in the traditional sense, but rather interjects bursts of commentary from games the legendary Lakers player performed in, adding dramatic flair to the track.”

Illa Ghee feat. Lil Fame – Salute The General [Video]

From starter jackets to Air Force 1’s, fashion trends are a dime a dozen in the world of Hip-Hop. Though styles and influence may change, one thing is for sure: you’ll never catch Illa Ghee in a pair of skinny jeans. On the hunt for trend setters with a certain penchant for swag rap, “Salute The General” is the conscription for emcees of the Golden Era to ban together on the war against weak lyrics and generic beats.
