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.

After the release of the much-publicized and much talked about LP, Illgod and Timi Kei have finally released the video to “Throbbin”, a single off the Soulsoup L.P. The visual is directed by arguably Nigeria’s no.1 music video brand Clearance Peters.

This video literally takes you back to the early 90’s, the glory days of the original Hip-hop music that created in the Bronx, a borough of New york. It also samples the voice of the Legendary Nas Jones on the song “World is yours” on his classic Illmatic album.

Illgod is well Known for his Sampling, heavy drums, basslines, kicks, and loops. His style is different from anything you can find in Nigeria and Timi Kei really seizes the opportunity of a dope beat to educate folks.
