DJ Green Lantern is still bringing quality rap music to the forefront of the genre. His latest single "ILL" is just that. Shot in the streets of Detroit, Green Lantern grabs two incredible emcees, Conway the Machine and Royce Da 5'9" for a gutter new video. The song itself was released back in May, a day before Conway dropped his Reject On Steroids mixtape. The tape also includes the song in its tracklisting.
The track and the video have a very 90's street vibe to it. With little glitches added to the video, it has an early-mid 90's east-coast rap feel to it. DJ Green Lantern definitely knows how to create a great song. Both Conway and Royce are wild emcees that bar for bar body the whole record.
