Illustrate |
Illustrate stepped on the Hip Hop music scene in 1995. Back in the days when KJ-52 was known as King J Mack and Mars Ill’s Manchild was beginning work with The Pride. In the Denver music scene, where Illustrate began, he was working with a local secular music label known as Kut-N-Kru Records. While working with this label, Illustrate was mentored in his musical production by DJ Scratch G. Scratch G also taught him the basics of sound recording. The first few songs they recorded were on a ¼ in reel to reel which gave them a limited eight tracks to record with. Beats were produced on an Esoniq EPS. Although the set up was simple, it built a foundation for Illustrate to create musically.
0ver 30 years later and Illustrate still creates new music. He has experience many highs and lows that come with becoming a veteran to the craft. With 15 solo albums and numerous collaborative efforts, he continues to create. As an adamant believer that creativity and faith never age out, Illustrate continues to build within his community or artists. He has worked as an artist, producer, event/project organizer, as well as a licensed minister. At the same time, he is a member of two hip hop crews, G Life Outreach and Shadow of the Locust.
Illustrate has a passion for his faith, community outreach and good hip hop. As he continues moving forward, multiple collaborative projects are in the works. After decades of creating music, it has just become a normal part of life. Age is irrelevant. Illustrate strives to share his faith in Christ through making the best music possible.
