(Rap / Hip Hop) E.C. ILLA - Seeds, Stems & Gems LP - 2017, MP3, 320 kbps

E.C. Illa is undeniably one of Chicago’s most storied and legendary artists. He quite literally kicked doors down for the scene to exist how it does today, and paved the way for the city be the powerhouse it is now. So we will always salute and tip (no pun intended) our hat to the living legend.
E.C. retired from dropping albums well over a decade ago, but still pops up from time to time with very rare and calculated guest verses (see: Vic Spencer “Cinema Bahz”). But on December 6th, he’s releasing what’s left in his vault as part of his Seeds, Stems & Gems LP. Only 350 copies will be made available, and they were put on presale yesterday on Illa’s site. All orders will be shipped December 7th, and the album was made available on a first come, first serve basis.
Each copy will be numbered and signed and will also come with a limited edition “Chicago Hip Hop & It Don’t Stop” logo sticker, designed by Chicago Graf king, SLANG.
And oh yeah, if that wasn’t dope enough, fellow icon Schooly D hand-drew the artwork for the project. Not to mention it will include one BRAND NEW song featuring M.O.P.
