I feel really bad for forgetting to post this since it was released a month ago (please forgive me, Nicolay). But here's a new FREE joint from Nicolay's blog series Off the Shelf where he release unreleased gems, b-sides, hard-to-find cuts and alladat. This one is from the group Ilwil and this joint called "So Far" features Jameze. Check out the quote below to know the origin of this track from Nic himself:
This week's 'Off The Shelf' installment was actually requested through Twitter. You may know the song "So Far" in the instrumental version that is included on City Lights Vol. 1.5, or in the remix version that is included on The Dutch Masters Vol. 1, but the original vocal version is a little less known. The song, performed by Ilwil (Donwill and Ilyas) featuring Jameze, was recorded around 2002, during what you could call our Okayplayer days. I'm sure that we posted it up on The Lesson, and Ilwil included the original version on their 'Beat Thieves Vol. 1 Mixtape', that is no longer in print.
Donwill and Ilyas are better known as two thirds of the group Tanya Morgan, the third third being another one of my Okayplayer homies, mc/producer Von "First Date" Pea. Their latest album, Brooklynati, is in stores right now and is a must-have if you like your hip hop fresh. Don't sleep!
Thanks for listening,
