New York underground rap icon Ill Bill is officially locked in for this year’s Gathering of the Juggalos. Bringing his signature brand of raw, unfiltered lyricism to the most chaotic festival in the U.S. counterculture calendar.
Straight outta Brooklyn’s Glenwood Projects, Ill Bill has spent decades forging his name in the underground. Whether through his early work with Non Phixion, the hardcore hip hop supergroup La Coka Nostra or his solo records. Known for blending street grit with conspiracy laced, socio political firepower, Ill Bill spits like every verse might be his last.
The Gathering’s official announcement described him as “30 rounds in an AR-15 locked, stocked and ready to rock”, a fitting metaphor for a rapper whose delivery hits like ballistics. With his no f**ks given bars, esoteric references and unrelenting presence. Bill is poised to cut through the madness of the Gathering like a straight razor through greasepaint!
As anyone who’s seen him live can attest, Ill Bill doesn’t just perform, he preaches, growls and detonates. Whether he’s diving into dark conspiracies, eulogising fallen heroes or dissecting the decay of modern society. He brings the same intensity to the mic that Slayer brings to a pit, that’s no exaggeration. The Gathering announcement literally called him “what Slayer is to thrash.”
Where It’s Going Down
This year’s Gathering of the Juggalos goes down August 13th to 16th in Thornville, Ohio. Ill Bill’s set is shaping up to be one of the most ferocious moments on the lineup. Whether you’re a long time Juggalo/Juggalette or a hip-hop head crawling out of the NYC sewers, this is a set not to be missed.
With Insane Clown Posse, Three 6 Mafia, Immortal Technique, ONYX, Gwar, Tech N9ne, RA The Rugged Man and Mushroom Head already announced, this one really is shaping up to be The Gathering Of Legends!
