iLLustrious Music Group – It Was Summer (Album Stream)

MeRCY, see.francis, Bishop, KoJazz and in-house producer Solidified unite for this family function. With their solo careers firmly established, the iLLustrious members reassembled to release the highly anticipated project, It Was Summer. Collectively, they have released a slew of records. However, the album’s official single, “Talk About”, was to recapture the essence of it all. The sound of the album built significantly on the previous records, with Solidified using more keyboards and string samples, as well as, along with outside production from ill Tal, E. Mishene and Latrell James to provide a different soundscape. Whether MeRCY baring his vulnerable side on “I’ll Be Sure”, KoJazz talking that talk on “Talk About”, Bishop cruising on “50 Shades of Green” or see.francis harmonizing on “Shots”, iLLustrious is in top form here, sounding both relaxed and hungrier than ever. All Summer ’16s & hooks for your enjoyment.
