ILL Fortune began making music in 2009 at the age of 14. Nowadays, he is 100% self-produced in every facet, from making his beats, writing, recording, and mixing his music, to creating his cover art and graphics. These skills combined have allowed him the advantage of releasing music more consistent than other artists while having full creative control over every aspect. 

 

"It’s nice to see another track from someone who does their own beats and does their own lyrics-the fact that he’s doing all his own work really ties into the message of the song – success – don’t get in the way." -NastyTrax

​
