Ill gates www.myspace.com/findgates “Behind The Gates” “Ill gates is like the west coast Ghost Face” say’s Producer Moses Milliyons “his delivery is uncut and has street quality with out a doubt but his flow is so unorthodox and crafty that it allows him to stand unequalled.” It’s safe to say that this Blackstone artist “Ill Gates” is destine to shake up the music world with his powerful and descriptive audio/visual of “life behind the gates”. Gates, as coined by his Blackstone counter parts, has been involved in music for over 15 yrs, starting as a avid listener of his favorite groups like, N.W.A., Ice T., and Too Short. Originally from Oakland Ca. Gates may well be among some of the most dynamic writers in the industry today with beats that rival the top producers, delivery of a delegate with a swagger Mick Jagger would envy. When it comes to Gates music its no comfortable, cushy, mellow hip-hop this is gritty, gruesome, and graphic. Look for exceptional lyrics and rare delivery with a street resonance that draws you in and doesn’t let you go. The beats are just as ruthless as the lyrics low end bass lines, thunder thump kicks, and a melodic magic locks you in, fusing hard to find samples from some of music greats. Bringing you a well-rounded sound. The concept that defines Gates style is advance expressive warfare with jarring lyrics that transpose the typical. He’s all B-Boy, cousin to the streets with a conscious attitude towards the world around him. His sound is hardcore feel good music, raw adulterated hip-hop yes it still exists. Powering the principals of Yin and Yang bidding chaos against order, dark against light, the gates can swing either way so expected the unexpected. With the kind of music that can capture the excitement of the club scene but also hold down the streets, fusing a combination for the Glamorous, and the Realist. Expect music that makes you feel it in your bones the kind of music that gives you goose bumps and butterflies in your stomach. After “the Gates get opened” people should feel gratified and energized about Hip-Hop and associate the art form as inventive, groundbreaking and inspiring. “I’m building a movement, a brand, something for all ages. I thought I wanted to be the best in the game and change the face of Hip Hop, and some one that did that to the fullest in his game was Bill Gates. So I dropped the B and the rest shall be history.” Gates is currently releasing his debut EP “Mackrohard” On Line and I Tunes 2009.
