SNIZAKE MCSWEENY & ILL BROTHER CHATONE MET DURING HIGH SCHOOL GEOMETRY CLASS IN 1988. THEY BOTH IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED THAT THEY WERE BOTH DEEP INTO HIP HOP MUSIC AND CULTURE. ILL BROTHER CHAT INVITED SNIZAKE TO KICK RHYMES OVER BEATS AT HIS HOUSE, SHIT WAS DOPE SO IT BECAME OFFICIAL. LATER THEY MET UNDERGROUND LOCALS: EMCEE, JAY JABALLAS & TURNTABLIST, DJ G-WIZ THE ILL BROTHERS POSSE WAS NOW IN FULL EFFECT. TIRED OF TRYING TO GET SIGNED TO A MAJOR LABEL, THEY DECIDED GO THEIR OWN ROUTE AND MAKE THEIR OWN RECORDS. FUCK A DEMO TAPE. ILL BROTHERS POSSE CREATED FOUR 12” RECORDS, TWO INSTRUMENTAL RECORDS AND MADE NUMEROUS APPEARANCES ON COMPILATIONS & PROJECTS DURING THE EARLY 90’S HIP HOP MOVEMENT TOWARD INDEPENDENCE. FROM THAT POINT ON THE ILL BROTHERS CONTINUED TO CREATE HIP HOP MUSIC UNDER MANY DIFFERENT FORMS & ALIASES. NOW STARTING IN 2011, ILL BROTHERS HAVE DECIDED TO MANIFEST A NEW EXPERIENCE AND ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON A NEW LP & VARIOUS OTHER PRODUCTIONS. ILL BROTHERS STAND FOR & REPRESENT THE LEGACY OF CREATING HIP HOP THAT IS TRUE TO THE ESSENCE OF AMERICAS LAST GREAT ART FORM. ILL BROTHERS SEND PEACE & RESPECT TO ALL HIP HOP FAMILY WORLDWIDE   << HOME
