This post is about a young MC out of Queens we've been following for a minute. His name is Illard Scott, and this cat definitely combines old-school flow with some hard-hitting DJ Premier-style beats. His content is on the conscious side, but he can flow about NYC, love, God, and MC'ing in general. Illard Scott has performed all over New York: at the Nuyorican Poetry Club, End of the Weak, last year's Forest Park International Music Festival, the Metro Hope Lounge in Harlem, and his own open mics in Mavi Lounge in Queens. You should check out his videos on Youtube. Dude has serious production skills and works with some of the best: DJ G-Biz and Mark Carrenceja (also known for working with the Roots). If you're tired of the same old crap in today's hip-hop, you're reading the right blog and you should give this cat a listen.
