Whoever said white boys can’t rap probably never heard of Ill Bill. Here’s Bill performing “A Bullet Never Lies” live on Fearless Music TV. You can find this jawn and other Bill-esque musings on his latest opus, The Hour of Reprisal.
Soulbrotha – “Life Is Crazy”
In tough economic times, motivational music is just what the doctor ordered. His name is Soulbrotha, but from here on out we will call him The Mailman, because he always delivers.

Ill Bill – The Hour of Reprisal Sampler
Street Date: September 16th, 2008
Here’s a 6-song sampler of Ill Bill’s The Hour of Reprisal, which arrives on September 16th. It includes “War is My Destiny” alongside Immortal Technique and the semi-controversial “White Nigger.”

I would’ve probably dismissed “White Nigger” as a publicity stunt if the song wasn’t so dope. Bill speaks on his early days as a fledgling MC, while dropping jewels on race and stereotypes. But is it out of line for him to drop the ever controversial N-word, or is it acceptable because of the context he used it in? I know for sure that Eminem would get buried alive by the media if he ever tried this.
