Audible Treats Audio Stream: Iller Than Theirs "Wash, Rinse, Repeat"
08.22.2007
The Song:
Iller Than Theirs' self-titled, debut LP comes to a cosmic close with "Wash, Rinse, Repeat," an all-encompassing lyrical discourse with enough reflection and foresight to please a dying hood philosopher. "This is my favorite song on the album," says MC Krayo, "It's just so epic to me." Tone Tank kicks things off with a rhyme about the tribulations of being a hip-hop rebel in our modern age before passing the mic to Krayo, who ruminates on just about everything else. With angelic samples floating in and out of smooth, lo-fi drums, "Wash, Rinse, Repeat" serves as the perfect ending to a very promising debut from Iller Than Theirs.
The Background:
Both Krayo and Tone Tank are Brooklyn-bred rappers whose art is hip-hop and whose craft is well honed. Part of the Nuk Fam collective that also spawned Junk Science, Iller Than Theirs brought in DJ Snafu, Scott Thorough, and J. Howells Werthman for production on their self-titled debut album, and Mastah Ace and Cool Calm Pete join the party to drop verses as well. This collection of ill rhymes will arrive on September 25, courtesy of Embedded Music. True to the Nuk Fam style, Iller brings intelligent rhymes that hold up to the closest inspection, and classic-sounding boom-bap beats that don't fade in the sunlight. Audible Treats is giving you the sneak peek right now, with the track "Razor Bumps."
