"Doc Illingsworth has been cranking out heat in Detroit for years now. Whether it be solo, instrumental, or rhyming and providing the sonics for his crew Detroit CYDI, to manning the boards for Open Mike Eagle, Clear Soul Forces, or Nolan The Ninja, his discography has grown as long if not longer than many of his contemporaries. I felt that a full length LP of his work was long overdue. No better time than the present. So we made it happen. Better late than never right? Hopefully this will be the first of many for Illingsworth. It took a minute, but it's definitely Worth The Wait..." - HouseShoes
Illingsworth - Worth The Wait - Vinyl LP Record and Cassette Tape
It's not everyday you hear skilled MCs get together to pour the truth of their emotions out over a bare sample loop, especially in 2015. Taking Hip Hop's creative expression back to a time where people were more open to showing their feelings, Ohkang & Doc ILLingsworth recall trials of love in rhyme to a pleasant sound of 70's Jazz Fusion on "Girlfriends". The charming and joyful musical vibe brought forth by this instrumental sets the tone for bittersweet love as each MC brings contrast in sharing the pain which resides deep in their hearts after a breakup.
Enjoy a collection of beats by an emerging movement of producers who challenge the art of making you snap your neck with a combination of crate digging, composing and instrumentation. This exciting 49-track compilation which demonstrates diversity and experimentation in various styles of Hip Hop production is designed to inspire the MC to spit 100 Percent Barz, featuring the music of Evil Needle, The Symphony, Aceman, Sivey, Deuce Maxwell, Illingsworth, J57 and more.
StryfeD embraces the power of street knowledge on "Shells", a song which not only depicts the act of gun spray but puts you right in the heat of the moment which occurs from the use of a firearm . ILLingsworth provides heat on the boards for a track which matches the intensity of StryfeD's visuals.
