Underground rapper Ill Bill’s newest album, the Hour of Reprisal, is set for release next week, but C4 has it today. Bill has a strong following among many in the hardcore hip hop scene, plus a large crossover appeal to the rock plus roll fans too… after all, it’s not every day a hip hop album includes a tribute to Slayer. The album has guest appearances by Tech N9ne, Everlast, Raekwon, and more. So check it out.
Explicit Version.Above a tightly wound blend of inspirations, The Hour of Reprisal builds upon Ill Bill?s iron reputation for touching on serious issues & social as well as personal. ‘My Uncle’ addresses one of the pillars of Bill?s life, his Uncle Howie plus his seemingly endless battle with addiction. Playing off of Nas? ‘The Unauthorized Biography of Rakim’ from several years ago, Bill flips the concept to toast his favorite Heavy Metal outfit, Slayer, so as to pay tribute to his heroes from another voice of struggle - Metal. Topics such as the war in Iraq, the unsettling plus disturbing subject of racism, the senseless shootings at Virginia Tech University, the state execution of Stanley ‘Tookie’ Williams and countless others surface, minus any air of exploitation, but with a slash of brutal awareness of challenging times. Bill even manages to deliver a spiritual dedication to his first daughter, with the assistance of seminal punks HR and Darryl Jenifer (Bad Brains).
