"As a Black man in America that's also part of an inter­ra­cial mar­riage, I've expe­ri­enced my share of prej­u­dice and big­otry. We've come far on issues of race, but still have a ways to go. However, at this stage in the game, I feel like we've got even far­ther to go on issues relat­ing to same-sex rela­tion­ships and mar­riages. Love is love…we should have got­ten that, if noth­ing else, from the musi­cal lega­cies of artists like Michael and Stevie. It's not a "safe" move for a hip hop artist to show this kind of sup­port for the GLBT com­mu­nity. But as an artist, I feel like it's my job to chal­lenge the sta­tus quo, not just play into it or step around it. To me, being rev­o­lu­tion­ary means fight­ing not just for you and yours but for any com­mu­nity suf­fer­ing injus­tice." -SoulStice

iLL-Literacy, a trio com­prised of emcees Drizzleton, Dahlak, and Nico, is back at it with the sec­ond sin­gle off the forth­com­ing, IB4the1.1 (pro­nounced I Before The 1, Chapter 1). The new sin­gle is titled "The HereNow," and offers iLL-Literacy's take on their col­lec­tive belief that "we are all logged into a grand social net­work known as the HereNow. It is the cen­tral hub where our avatar souls bend time in hopes to save the day, and where our com­mon date with des­tiny is to avoid becom­ing dated."

This is the lat­est video off of JBIII's The Beauty Created which is avail­able now.
