Hip-Hop artist, producer, engineer and all around creative, illRow released his latest project, a 3-track EP titled ‘Medi-Kasi' which was produced by Award-winning Hip-hop Producer Shaney Jay and has only one guest appearance from the Cape Town Afrikaans Rap sensation Mr. Heinz. The EP is a follow up to his single 'Rands In The West' which illRow reccently dropped the music video for featuring, YoungstaCPT and Nate Johnson.
Keeping his style consistent but also looking for a more commercial feel to his music, illRow decided to team with renowned Cape Town producer Shaney Jay to bring all the beats to life and give the project that energy it deserves, while maintaining the raw feel illRow is well known for.
“This EP was made to flex my skill on a set of commercial beats so that I can prove anything is possible in the very close-minded industry whereby we believe we need to conform to a specific standard. Shaney Jay requested that I send him a batch of my unfinished skeleton beats, so that he could work on it and call it a collaboration. He sent me a batch back and told me ''I wanted to make you sound more commercial on these bro'' and that's exactly what I believe it came out as.” - says illRow. Check the project out below;
