Ill Bill's latest album due out in September

On September 11, the new album from Brooklyn’s own ILL BILL hits the streets!! The Hour of Reprisal (Uncle Howie Records/Perfect Game Recording Co.) is the best punk album of 2007! That’s right – PUNK album. Why? In the same way REAL punk rock was born out of dissatisfaction with the status quo and was in your face about whatever was on your mind, be it politics, history, social condition, etc., so is ILL BILL’s The Hour of Reprisal.

The Hour of Reprisal features cover art by Larry Carroll, the man behind Slayer’s Reign In Blood, South of Heaven, Seasons in the Abyss, and Christ Illusion covers, and includes a BONUS DVD of ILL BILL’s wild set at the historic CBGB’s in its entirety!! The DVD also features a guided tour of every historic filthy inch of CBGB’s hosted by ILL BILL himself.

For The Hour of Reprisal, ILL BILL brought in the most special guests and friends including Howard Jones (Killswitch Engage), Max Cavalera (Soulfly/Sepultura), HR and Darryl Jenifer (Bad Brains), Raekwon the Chef (Wu-Tang Clan), B-Real (Cypress Hill), Everlast (House of Pain), Necro, Immortal Technique, Vinnie Paz (Jedi Mind Tricks), Tech N9ne, and Slaine (La Coka Nostra), making the album an all-star display of rap and metal talent. The album also features several amazing producers including Necro, DJ Lethal, Muggs, T-Ray and, tracks by ILL BILL himself.

ILL BILL is the voice of disenfranchised youth without any gender, racial or cultural boundaries. He's pissed off about what affects him, as well as the world around him. That said, he even manages to apply his chaotic lyrical flow over hard, menacing tracks to a song called "Riya," about the birth of his first child earlier this year. There is truly no other rap artist alive quite like ILL BILL.

Be sure to check out The Hour of Reprisal, which streets September 11, and don’t miss ILL BILL on tour this August!!
