iLL-Literacy

So a couple weeks ago I went up to san marcos to check out my roommates friend perform. His friend ended up being part of a spoken word group called Ill-literacy. Now these cats are tight as hell. In fact, one of the members of the group was featured on Def Poetry Jam. I was blown away by these guys. These guys kept you into it the whole time they performed. Especially after performing from a small spoken word night and seeing some local people do their thing. Listening to these guys made me realize that there is so much talent out there, in this state alone.

These cats have skill, and they covered every subject. From self conciousness, falling in love, to trying to survive. Anything you would be stressin about was definitely covered. Now I can't describe all the heart and emotion they put into this show. But after I listened to these cats, they really humbled me. I mean before I heard them perform, I was stressin on how much my life ain't perfect. How I don't have the ideal job or the ideal amount of money. Then after hearing them, I walked out of that hall and thought life ain't so bad.

I got to chill with these cats after and these guys are some cool homies. Listening to all their motivations to make them do what they want to do. I mean these cats are doing the stuff they love. They're touring the nation, they even performed overseas. I'm a little envious and jealous of these cats. Being a writer and a spoken word artist myself. These cats gave me the drive I needed to get the creativity going again. And I thank them for that.

I would highly suggest checking these cats out because these guys are amazing. Here are some examples of their performances.
