95th and Howard: A cup of change

IL. Subliminal - 95th and Howard: a cup of change mixtape (mixed by DJ SeaNile)



This is an album that is in the form of a mixtape, because frankly, I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE DAMNED THING!!!!!!

It has Chicago production (unless otherwise stated)
by Mike Smoov (of Cleveland), Scottfree, Kid Fresh (Maryland), DJ Tapedek (REST IN POWER), Custom, Radius, ILL Legit (New Jersey, Columbia Grad), DJ Freezerock, Lokua, Montana Macks, Blended Babies, and Portishead
(no bullshit, they left a beat open for download on their myspace a year ago)

It took me 7 years to compile the right beats, the words, the feeling, and ultimately,
I just want people to listen.

Special shots go to Idris Goodwin, Jus Love (of DLP), Jyroscope for their feature verses. Ugly for always havin' beats for me whether he likes how I used them or not.
Get-Along-Gang (Drunken Monkeee, Neo, Ill Legit, Camoflage Jones, Tweak Central Academy) for putting me thru the types of adventures that would teach me how to perform correctly.
Super Heroes of Sound (Itch 13, Aquil, Insight, Seemore Perspective) for always supporting.
Young Chicago Authors for helping me pay my bills and giving me great mentors who made me a better writer.
DJ Sean Doe for showing me the difference between good and bad music.
Tomorrow Kings for being my friends first, and then bein' an organized syndicate ;0)
