HOOKED ON ILL PHONICS is the soulful extension of Producer and DJ, Violentlyill.

This new project will have you blasting classic hip-hop style beats through your dusty gramophone. Escape into a psychedelic world of jazz which sounds perfect for the likes of rappers such as Rakim, Fatlip or Q-Tip.

Treat yourself to a listen:

Far from the East Coast but still bumping classic cuts from Belfast, the crate-divin’, vinyl-spinnin’, old-skool-kickin’, jazz-and-blues-samplin’ producer Violentlyill has not only earned the approval of 20k listeners on Spotify last year, but also legends of the game, The Outsidaz, Guilty Simpson, Funkdoobiest, and The Pharcyde. Beyond this, Violentlyill runs two radio shows on London’s well-established stations—Subtle Radio and Mode London—while managing his own independent label, ill Records, showing an undeniable dedication to his craft.
