Why this name?
Been spittin for 8 years now, when i first started people used to say i was ill. My last name is Magill. 1+1=2. I also go by the name L.J. Illver. Paying respect to the greatest pirate of them all Long John Silver......YARR!
Do you play live?
I don't play live. No need to. I do this for shits and giggles, not fame and money.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It is wicked. Gives guys like me a chance to express ourselves without the hoopla of contract comittments and havin to answer to someone. I just sit back, blaze the track, toss it on the internet and voi'la, instant gratification
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
And work for the man? F*** naw!
Your influences?
As a child i grew up havin to listen to country 24/7. As i grew and was able to make my own decisions i started to get into rap. I just loved the thought and flow that was put into every song i heard. My biggest influences at the time were DMX, Jay-Z, Mos Def, Mobb Deep, and yes Mase. He did this one song 24 hours to live, just hit me everytime i heard it, that song was what started it all
Favorite spot?
The Calgary Saddledome. Herion beer, 2.5 hours of hockey, 19000 drunk, crazy fans. It don't get any better than that
Equipment used:
Cool Edit Pro, Version 2.0, a five dollar microphone, wrapped in pantyhose! Want to get some better equiptment, then redo most of my songs
Anything else...?
Listen to the music, the lyrics, and the message. Most of the songs i have are very metaphorical, and u need to read between the lines. Also i believe that the world is going to sh*** right now, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. So alot of my tracks will have those end times undertones to them. ENJOY
