As the release date for The Grimy Awards draws near, Ill Bill provides another sampling from the project with “Truth.” The track features masterful production from none other than Soul Brother #1, Pete Rock. “Truth” picks up where “Severed Heads Of State” left off, with the Brooklyn rapper-producer spitting self-coined “mathematical goon rap” over smoothly chopped sample.
The Grimy Awards, due out February 26 on Uncle Howie/Fat Beats, features a who’s who list of legendary producers ranging from the aforementioned Pete Rock to DJ Premier, El-P, DJ Muggs, Large Professor, Ayatollah and others. The 17 tracks project dons equally impressive guest appearances, including contributions from Mayhem Lauren, A-Trak, Cormega, OC and more.
If Ill Bill looks to make his way back into the limelight, a line up this strong greatly heightens his chances.
Fans can stream “Truth” below and pre-order The Grimy Awards here. It drops February 26.
