It's been many many years and he just gets better with time. His history reaches back to the legendary Bronx - Bronx River Houses to be exact, where an ex-girlfriend's brother taught him how to DJ back in the 80’s. A seed was planted, and Lord Itill immediately joined the ranks of many who were smitten by hip-hop. To show the new love of his life how serious he was about her, he saved up every bit of money from his Super market job so he could nurture their relationship. His first gift: Two Turn Tables, a mixer and a Roland R70 drum machine that was used to water her soul, and she bloomed as a result of his cultivation. ?
Known as the Grind Master, put simply, Lord Itill has been working hard. Many artists and business partners have come and gone, but he continues to be the last man standing - his fire for hip-hop has never diminished. One partnership in particular, L.I.B.B. (Lord Itill / Big Bear) Productions, bore the fruit of 4 successful LIBB compilation CDs - Volumes 1 through 4. As you read this, these classic hip-hop and R&B compilations are continuing to sell on Itunes - World Wide - and have been in heavy rotation for the past 5 years. Although the L.I.B.B. partnership had countless successes, sometimes, people grow up and grow apart; yet the two talents respect each other, have love for one another and still communicate when the time permits. ?
Speaking of time, it is now spring of 2008 and the grinding continues as the years move on. Itill, like most of us, is the sum of his experiences, but he will not quit multiplying. He is a master engineer, putting his entire studio together on his own, learning through trial and error, gathering the appropriate equipment to run a quality studio. He is a producer extraordinaire, incorporating all he's learned into beats that are crazier than ever and finally, he is branching out yet again, the universe providing him with more talent, positive energies and higher creativity. ?
The diversity of the artists Itill collaborates with continues to expand. Mike Keys aka MC Harmanie, is a Manhattan born/Brownsville raised conscious and spiritual performer. He’s written over 500 positive rap songs and 7 poetry books over the last 10 years. This devout family man (happily married with one daughter) is creating his music to demonstrate that it is possible to be a role model who can reach the masses with positive messages and still make money. Lord Itill has produced 10 out the 12 tracks on Harmanie’s completed album entitled, The World I Still Love. Its messages are sure to promote mental elevation to every person in every city across the globe. MC Harmanie says this about his passion: “My mission and goal is to bring a new flavor of conscious and spiritual rap to hip hop that has been missing for a very long time.”
Next up is Tanyika, who has been working with Lord Itill for the past 3 years - her first project with him being volume 3 of LIBBs: Business, Bulls*t & Goo times. This sexy R&B vocalist nurtured her love of music by performing in several vocal groups starting at the age of 12. While she was a part of the vocal group, she performed on Amateur Night at the Apollo, dabbled in modeling, and briefly worked with the legendary Grandmaster Flash and Mr. Broadway. The experience provided the foundation for her to not only become business savvy, but it also assisted her in developing her niche in this industry. Notably, Tanyika has written and recorded songs for artists ..ting Records, she’s worked with Bernard Wright, sang background vocals for Jazz artist Bimshi, and has also lent her vocals to Capital Records, Def Jam and Virgin. Her next stamp in the R&B pavement will be the album, Theory of Love, in which Lord Itill has produced all 12 tracks. With the combination of Tanyika’s vocal prowess, lyrical style and Itill’s brilliant production, this album is the proverbial sure shot.
Last but certainly not least amongst those that Lord Itill is bestowing his genius upon, is a favorite amongst music lovers far and wide - Chosan. He's been collaborating with Itill since 2003, appearing on all 4 volumes of LIBBs sought after work. London born and Sierra Leone bred; Chosan is focused on living his dream. Itill has played a vital role in conjunction to Chosan’s goal being his producer, engineer and friend. He has produced several tracks for Chose's up and coming album entitled, Diamond in the Dirt and I’m sure this won’t be the end of their impressive creative union. Itill and Chosan are comparable in the drive to succeed in this business. The two are consistent, persistent and passionate about their love for music – the chief characteristics needed to achieve your goals.
Indeed, it’s been a while since Itill began this journey. From being the producer lacing an artist with a tight track, to being an engineer who tweaks and polishes a song until its winning finish - Lord Itill is indeed the Grind Master. He is a prime example of the fact that this business of music is not for the faint of heart, and Itill's heart continues to beat loud and clear.
