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.
While enjoying their summer break in New York [instead of in Chicago, the city that hosts their college Columbia] Mike Waxx & Mike Carson
have been working strong at putting the finishing touches on illRoots 2. Boundless TV, a series created by Imagination Detonation, caught up with the duo earlier this month.
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.
