Illgod is yet again involved in another masterpiece. His beats seem to bring out the best in rappers. This time he collaborates with the highly intelligent xplain D Don who first wowed us with his King Jaja Bars some months ago. Xplain as his name implies is able to speak on a vast variety of topics, tell stories, and kick mad knowledge that educates, as well as entertains the listener at the same time.

On so many occasions during the album, he draws inspiration from his Port-Harcourt environs mentioning the names of past heroes and reminding us of the lifestyle and culture of the Opobo people – an ethnic tribe in Nigeria in which he belongs to.

Illgod draws inspiration from The Divine Comedy and La Vita Nuova both by Dante Alighieri. According to the artists, the artwork by Aubrey Vincent Beardsley was just too beautiful to overlook.

We are super impressed by this body of work.

Legendary Boombap producer IIIgod teams up with Disciple of Hip-hop music Timi Kei to deliver one of the most insightful L.P’s of all time. The album circles around elevating above hardship, addiction, and depression. Both collaborators are originally from Port Harcourt, PH for short.

Port Harcourt is known for breeding some of the best Artists Nigeria has ever seen, as the political and social climate of the city is a haven to breed conscious minds. Listen to Soul Soup as TImi Kei takes us through his struggles with drug addiction which resulted in a strong connection with God.
