Typ-iLL – Let ‘Em Talk [Video]

P.R. 0 Comments

Typ-iLL returns to standout single “Let ‘Em Talk” for the debut visuals from his fantastic new album, “Veterans Day”, produced entirely by Statik Selektah. The video, which Typ played a large role in producing, was both directed and edited by Hostage Media, who balance the Long Island rapper’s rapid­fire flow with equal doses of quick­panning shots and slow­motion scenes. The latter helps to drive home the song’s message of not worrying about what others are saying about you, because more often than not, they’re just jealous of your success. Few people can claim to know that feeling better than Typ, who returned home after several tours of duty defending his country, to experience firsthand, the petty­ minded haters that would try to throw shade towards his movement. But as he says on the track, giving those clowns lip service is exactly what they want—“So let ‘em talk, it’s only breath.” “Veterans Day” is now available through every major digital retailer/streaming service, and can be purchased on CD, courtesy of Fat Beats.

Typ-iLL – Veteran’s Day [EP]

P.R. 0 Comments ,

From Pete Rock & CL Smooth to PRhyme, some of the best Hip-Hop projects have been anchored by one rapper and one producer. Further proving that point is the Long Island rhyme-slinger, and U.S. Army Veteran, TYP-ILL, who connects with Boom bap aficionado Statik Selektah, for the release of their collaborative effort, ‘Veterans Day,’ released just in time to coincide with the national holiday. Backed by stellar production from his collaborator, Typ delivers what he calls his finest project to date. And although he may spit some bars with an air of braggadocio, his words are always sincere and heartfelt. At a time when so many other artists’ authenticity is questionable (at best), you have to respect the man’s no-bullsh*t attitude. Statik echoes that sentiment: “Typ is dope because he tells true war stories, yet he’s still dope as an artist. No gimmicks here.” Beyond complementing one another sonically, Typ says that the producer pushed him to “absolutely” bring his best work to the studio. “Statik’s reputation alone made me want to take my time writing,” he says. “He also made me feel obligated to nail my verses.” ‘Veterans Day’ is now available through every major digital retailer/streaming service, and can be purchased on CD, courtesy of Fat Beats. This is Typ’s moment. This is ‘Veterans Day.’

Typ-iLL – Let ‘Em Talk [Audio]

P.R. 0 Comments ,

In a world filled with gossip, lies, and rumors, straight-shootin’ spitter TYP-ILL has three words of advice for how to handle it all: “Let Em Talk.” Rather than indulge any of it, he encourages listeners to brush off the negativity and be confident of what you believe in. “Let Em Talk” is Typ’s latest offering from his upcoming project, ‘Veterans Day,’ which is produced entirely by Statik Selektah. And if their chemistry wasn’t apparent on their bravado-forward previous single, “Typ Statik,” you’ll absolutely hear it on this cut. Statik’s mellow, breezy backdrop is the perfect setting for TYP’s contemplative, expositional rhymes—a combination that anyone doubting themselves needs to hear. These are no-BS bars from a passionate individual, backed by Statik’s first rate production. Be on the lookout for ‘Veterans Day,’ which drops on the very same U.S. holiday, November 11, via Empire Distro.

Typ-iLL – Typ Statik [Audio]

P.R. 0 Comments

After showing love to his hometown on “Without Love,” U.S. Army Veteran Typ-iLL is back with the neck-snapping “Typ Statik.” The blistering track is the first single off his upcoming album, ‘Veterans Day,’ which is produced entirely by Statik Selektah. The duo prove themselves to be a complementary force, with both doing the heavy lifting in their respective artistry. Typ instantly grabs your ear, flexing boastful and rewind-worthy rhymes like, “Who am I? A journeyman who’s on course/ Never needed a compass, solo with no accomplice/ ‘Til that mission’s accomplished, my dedication’s real/ Educated through living, that’s how I became iLL.” Not to be outdone, Statik serves up a head-nodding instrumental fueled by melodic strings and good-ol’ Boom bap drums. He also laces the hook with his signature scratching, emphasizing his collaborator’s name, and further setting the tone. “Typ Statik” is Hip-Hop for the heads and casual listeners alike—and it’s also one hell of a way to kick off the ‘Veterans Day’ campaign. Be on the lookout for more details on the album soon!

Typ iLL – 100 Dollar Bill [Stream]

P.R. 0 Comments

“People complain that pro athletes make a lot of money” said Patrick Ewing, “but what they don’t understand is that we need a lot of money because we spend a lot of money,” he concludes. The quote may be attributed to the world of sports, but the crossover to the music industry isn’t a long shot. While there’s nothing wrong with getting together with the homies and spitting a few bars, Long Island’s Typ-iLL understands that in order to be successful in the rap game, you need to treat your talents like a business. But with the money comes the problems that can arise from becoming successful; bitter people who ride your coattails for a chance to make it big and use you as a stepping stone for your own agenda. “100 Dollar Bill” has Typ-iLL getting his Scarface on–starting from a humble beginning to envisioning his future empire and the steps he’ll take in order to own the world. Over a crisp, head nodding beat from Sick Luke, iLL drops a series of hardbody bars that’ll get you motivated to get on your grind. For more banging boom bap joints, peep iLL’s ‘Turning Point’ EP, which is now available!
