New Zealand Musician Article!

Ill Conceived


Wellington’s Tommy Ill may not be an established figure of New Zealand’s core rap community, but the MC/producer’s lyrical tales and raw sample-heavy foundations provide an eccentric and refreshing palette that makes him one of the country’s brightest hip hop talents. With his third EP. ‘Come Home Mr. Ill’ just hitting shelves, Tom Young sat down with Adam Burns to talk about digging for samples, copyright laws and his love of the Beastie Boys.

    Why was the article called 'Ill Conceived' ? I kept waiting for the part where they rag on you

    Yeah, I was a bit worried about that at first. People seem to like to try and make puns on my name, but the ILL part tends to lend itself to more negative sounding things. Which can be pretty awkward when the article is quite positive. When Toast and Tea Kettles came out there was an article in the Groove Guide about me which was titled "Music to make you ill... literally!". Apparently my music makes people vom hard.
