Ill Mestizo

Straight out of Montreal, comes twenty-year-old Filipino/Canadian emcee, Ill Mestizo. Born December 15, 1981, Ill Mestizo began dabbling with rhyme-writing and freestyling at the age of 13 and hasn't relented since. He first made noise in the Montreal scene through Dawson College's annual Street Heat hip-hop competition. What followed were a series of appearances at local clubs and the release of a 4-track demo by Mestizo-s now defunct I-99 crew entitled "The Basement EP." Although the past two years have been relatively slow, Ill has used the time to focus on his craft, perfecting his flow and finding himself as an artist.
