ILLECT Recordings Newest Signee Rel McCoy Proves His Worth Once Again on Second Offering ‘Call of the Times’
If ILLECT Recordings signs a new artist they most likely have unlimited talent and potential. The label and their subsequent emcee’s are all about the music and stray away from politics and drama. Illect has been around since 2003, and the fact that they are still in business and working just as hard is a testament…

Illect Recordings’ newest signee Die-Rek Introduces Himself with Self Produced ‘The Name Is Die-Rek’
My good friends over at Illect Recordings have been holding down independent rap for over a decade now. They only sign artists that they believe in and know will bring a positive contribution to the label. When Illect announced another addition to the family, my hopes were high. Enter Die-Rek. With his flow, delivery, meaning…

James Gardin Is Back With Groovy New Track ‘Joy’
2018 has been good to James Gardin. An uplifting visual, a collaborative joint with James & Terem (peep last post) and an actual Tommy Hilfiger theme song. Yes, he’s garnered attention far and wide, but the grind never stops. One month later, James is back with Joy, another song that encourages us to push along…

French Producer Terem Exceeds Expectations In New EP ‘Intuition In The Keys’ (Review)
A few days ago I wrote about Terem, an eccentric, yet powerful French producer who dug deep into my soul off of one track. Interestingly enough, Look On The Bright Side was a pure instrumental. Although there were no vocals, the record brought into mind the importance of gratitude – even in dark times. Terem’s full…

Illect Recordings’ Sundance Steps Out On His Own With Debut Single ‘The Last Sunrise’
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Illect Recordings is one of the best independent hip hop labels in the country. Not only do they host dope music, but often put out cassettes, CDs, and vinyl for their drops. Another gem has come out of the camp – this time from Sundance. The multi-faceted,…

Armond WakeUp Does His Name Justice On Latest Visual – ‘Revelation is Revolution’
Armond WakeUp ‘doesn’t want to fuck with you weaklings’ – and I understand why. His latest visual, ‘Revelation Is Revolution’ is bold, creative, and lyrically insane. He speaks his mind on a number of topics, and uses his one of a kind flow and direct delivery to make one of the best tracks of the year.…

ILLECT RECORDING’s James Gardin & Terem Team Up For New Track ‘Groove’ (Review)
ILLECT Recordings signee’s James Gardin and Terem recently teamed up for a funky, new record titled Groove. Terem brings out the best in James and his half-sung raps and catchy chorus. Groove has potential, but it’s lacking polish. James often goes off-key, and the volume of his voice changes rapidly. I’m not sure if that’s due…

Sareem Poems & Ess Be Link With Sean C. Johnson For Futurist Boom Bap Single “Way Up There”
Sareem Poems & Ess Be are one of the most talented artists from ILLECT Recordings. I’ve become familiar with the label which has been around since 2003 – hosting independent talents that are correctly promoted. In preparation for their next Illect album release, the duo has dropped a collaborative effort with Sean C. Johnson titled…
