Ebonicaly Ill means fresh, dope,nice, exciting,cool, amazing etc. Then Literate represents the fact that we are fairly educated as far as the public school system is concerned...not to mention we didn't complete our studies at University. Skill is what we possess...hence Ill-Literate-Skill!!!

Yes Sir! we perform live, 3 rappers and a DJ and of course we like. Every moment is special, We totally dig peforming...rockin mics is the ish dawgie

It gives music an alternative route to reach the listener without relying on the misers pocket and policies.

late 2004, we jam together. early 2005 we are officially a crew. We do open mics, park jams, the Grahamstown Festival, a gig in PE, Proverb's launch
at Pig n Swizzle in Rondebosch, get hated and loved. we pay dues, hussle, have fun. 2006 we hit the Valve in Church Square along with Prokid, do more gigs @ Armchair, Zula, Orchid Bank, Cool Runnings, get bigger as the popularity spreads, release a critically acclaimed mix tape with Driemanskap called Battle of Guguletu and sell it hand to hand, record an EP called Another Day-Another Rhyme with a single of the same title, people loved it. 2007 we grow up and earn respect countrywide and get felt afar as Germany and get offered a 8 week European tour for march 2008, moral of the story...? we are shit!
