B-iLLATV just had to be in the area for the link up … discussions of the new albums & mixtapes were going down in this meeting behind closed doors in the ‘Retreat Room’ … the mobile studio was in town getting some demos down for new projects and getting some beats in … Mistah Biggz & Dillah (B-iLLA) extend the family tree to new in-house producer TaylorMade, and lyricist Ahkay.

What started out as an entry for a competition UK producer Configa ran last year to win a place on his album (which John Vietnam won pretty unanimously via the voting panel) quickly became something WAY more, due to JVN’s extremely untimely passing, very shortly after. Sadly, Configa and John never had time to record the track properly, so his entry, entitled “Need Wisdom”, stands alone as one of the tracks (even though it’s just one verse) that Configa is most proud of in his career.
This kid was set to blow, Configa knew it, and everyone who knew him, or of him, knew it. Configa said “It’s just an honor to have his vocals bless my beat, bearing in mind what happened shortly afterwards. Anyway, he was a great guy, and understood hip-hip as a CULTURE rather than as just some disposable trash. I’m a hip-hop academic, with a PhD, and this skinny teenager could hold his own with me in a debate – amazing! I just wish we had more 19 year old’s like him to carry the flame. Rest In Power – John Vietnam. Rapper, Poet, B-Boy, Scholar.”
Shout Out to Strife.TV who approached Configa about this tribute, and about hooking them up with the music. A BIG shout out goes to the Chicago B-Boys (and Girls) who held it down for JVN in this video, reppin’ for his home-town, as he himself always did. Peace.
B-iLLATV / B-iLLA co-founder UK hip hop artist and entrepreneur Dillah hands the camera to brother Mistah Biggz so he can drop some fresh bars over a Show N Prove beat – a little sneak preview of what B-iLLA and the family have cooking up right now.
UK hip hop beat maker, Dead Man Walkn has just dropped a new beat tape ‘Akashic Field Theory’. The beat tape features 10 heavy instrumentals as we’ve come to expect from Dead Man and it’s available for FREE download. So for all you aspiring emcees out there make sure you check it out and give Dead Man a shout if you like any of the beats.
