Illist D
NEWS
Currently at work with all kinds of projects including three solo albums (Goblin, Gonzo & The Pumpkin LP), a mixtape with Major Play (of Kreephouse Ent.) and a mixtape with $mooth (of Diamond Fisted Records). I'm also putting the finishing touches on what will be the newest SS release titled Prologue. All of the songs were recorded before JC got locked up and I'm currently working on completing them. I'd also like to start work on a mixtape with my brother J-Crook. More news as it comes...

Why this name?
A friend of mine made it up a long time ago as a play on word for "lsd" and it just stuck.
Do you play live?
Have played shows in Cincinnati with JC, the rap group I'm in SS (w/ JC) & my band SS Lounge (a fusion of rap & other genres like country, jazz & rock).
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Nowadays, people get signed all the time just by having a myspace. It's good but ridiculous at the same time. Seems like nobody pays their dues anymore.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends...
Band History:
Started rapping in 1998 with a horrorcore group called the SyKotiK Underground...
they split up, and I got together with lifelong friend JC and formed the supergrounp known as Seperate Soulz. We recorded over 50 tracks, but now most of them are lost. We did release an album - Homemade Static - named after the lo-fi, staticy sound heard throughout all the tracks (we recorded with a Microsoft (I think) mic.)
Seperate Soulz eventaully disbanded and I stopped making music for a bit. Eventually, I got back in touch JC and started "managing" him - booking him shows and getting him on a few web radio shows. After a few months of being his "manager", I decided to start writing/rapping again - and SS reunited. This time around, we dropped the "Seperate Soulz" and became just SS. Lots of people ask us what it stands for - and we tell them something different everytime. Today, it's Silver Shamrock.
SS founded 3rd Eye Ent. later changed to Wild Bunch Ent. which featured other rappers Buddha and Major Play (who unfortuanly never got to release anything with the "label"), as well as gangster rap group Neighborhood Pushers.
While the Wild Bunch has since "disbanded", I have been seen with Diamond Fisted Records and Kreephouse Ent. My solo stuff will be coming out on the brand new Devil Anse Entertainment/Popp Productions label.
