We were out in Toledo a couple weeks back catching Big Sean, Dom Kennedy and Chip Tha Ripper perform. While there, we talked with Sean about linking up to shoot a couple videos. When he came to Chicago a bit later, the homies Chiddy Bang were also around for a separate gig. We got the two acts together and threw them on a rooftop to shoot this visual for their Finally Famous 3 collaboration ‘Too Fake’.

During the course of this year, & especially at SXSW, illRoots has gathered plenty of footage of Chip tha Ripper. This footage came together for this video for Chip's song "Whoa." I have to say usually I am not a big fan of his music, but this is definitely a song I like.

If you either follow me on twitter, or follow any part of the illRoots team, you have been aware of the fact that "illRoots 2" was something to be excited for. The day is finally here, & deuxième partie [part 2] has be unveiled.

I would like to say congrats to Carson & Waxx esquire, along with the whole illRoots team. As they mentioned in their interview, they wanted illRoots to not only have an individual look, but be a content provider rather than a regular blog.

So I except big things for the site in the future, & hopefully Weirdoe can hook up with them someday.

It's kind of cool how I'm a 16 year old blogging a video made by a 17 year old who interviewed a couple of 18 year olds.

The video for illRoots 2 dropped tuesday but I was traveling back from Orlando then, & I was sick yesterday [I still am sick] so I wasn't able to view it to today.

Let me say, this is crazy. Basically, the whole point of the video [& the accompanying text] is that illRoots is moving from a music blog, to an entertainment provider. Rather than re-posting music like other blogs, the new illRoots will be delivering the content.

Here's What We've Been Doing: illRoots2 Promo from illRoots.com on Vimeo.

After a year of planning, reworking, starting from scratch and traveling, illRoots2 is finally becoming a reality. It wasn’t until March of this year that Mike Carson and I really kicked things into motion. Since then we’ve gone from Chicago to Austin to New York to Los Angeles, capturing content from some of our closest friends and favorite artists. We’ve really dedicated so much time and brain power to this project that’s it’s sort of surreal to be this close to launch.

Now what exactly is illRoots2? In short, it’s the new version of illRoots with a much updated look that will focus primarily on providing high quality original content at a consistent basis. We’re enhancing our interview format, creating music videos, releasing new audio, doing photoshoots and throwing concerts amongst other things. All in house. We’ll still be bringing you what you want as far as news and media, just with our own material mixed in to play.

Some people came and went over the years, but our team is now concrete and really ready to try something new.
We appreciate your support and hope you stay tuned. The new site drops in the first week of August. Look out for Part Two of our promo video to announce the official release date. Fun things on the way!
