Ill Bill was the main voice behind the now disbanded Non Phixion, and is currently involved with La Coka Nostra, along with Everlast, Slaine, Danny Boy and DJ Lethal of House of Pain & Limp Bizkit fame. In 2004 he released his debut solo album What’s Wrong with Bill? and has since released various solo mixtapes and collaborations in anticipation for his sophomore solo record and the upcoming La Coka Nostra album.
On September 16, 2008, he released his sophomore album on Uncle Howie Records, entitled “The Hour of Reprisal”. The album includes appearances from Necro, Tech N9ne, B-Real of Cypress Hill, Everlast, Bad Brains, Max Cavalera of Soulfly, Jedi Mind Tricks, Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage, Immortal Technique and Raekwon of Wu-Tang Clan. It also features production by DJ Muggs, T-Ray, DJ Lethal, Necro, DJ Premier and Ill Bill himself.
He is also scheduled to release collaboration albums with DJ Muggs, Vinnie Paz, Sean Price and Jeru The Damaja. Possibly also a concept mixtape together with Raekwon. Ill Bill was supposed to release a collaboration album with rapper Crooked I and production team Blue Sky Black Death, but the project was eventually cancelled.
During Spring 2008, Ill Bill joined Tech N9ne and Paul Wall on a nationwide tour. “The Hour of Reprisal” was released on September 16, 2008 by Uncle Howie Records and Fat Beats.
Ill Bill has said that his third album will be released in 2011, and that it will be wholly produced by Necro and himself.

BIG5 tattoo’d the homegirl glossy the other day for her grandmother. this is taken from http://www.thefreshfiends.com/tiki-punch/

The lovely Glossy from The Boobs recently received thee RADDEST tribute tattoo in the history of rad tribute tattoos; paying homage to her grandmother. The “Remembrance” ink on my forearm is dedicated to my own granny, so when I saw this I was really touched. Besides the actual work being immaculate, the meaning behind it is simply beautiful. From Glossy:
My grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years ago, and after having a double mastectomy, the cancer has since spread through her entire body, and she is now in her final stages. I wanted to get a tattoo for her but Obviously since she’s still alive and with us I couldn’t get an “R.I.P Grandma” hahaha but I wanted to get something that was cute and that really represented her.
If you read my blog, you know how much I love nails and nail art. My grandmother is the QUEEN of “nails dids” so I believe perhaps my affection for them stemmed from her. She was always getting her nails done and took me as a little girl to get my very first mani/pedi. My grandmother’s signature color is “tiki punch” she has worn tiki punch for 15+ years now, which is why I felt that getting the nail polish bottle that read tiki punch was only fitting.
Everyone in our family who has seen the tattoo immediately knew it was for our grandmother and they all loved it. This is by far my most significant tattoo, it will be a constant reminder to me of just how sassy, stylish, and beautiful of a woman that she still is and will always be .
*the tattoo was done by my friend Big 5 at Union Electric Tattoo
