What is Ill Feelin'? Ill Feelin' is the skill to wreck that mic and tear an MC to pieces, flip a beat, pull back slip mats with surgical precision, climb that fence to catch a virgin spot no matter how bad the razor wire cuts you up. It's the skill that lets you look an opponent square in the eyes and say, "you can't fade me!" It's that sixth sense that recognizes what's around the next corner. It's what keeps you alert, what blends those colors and bends those letters into sick wild styles. Most of all, Ill Feelin' is that attitude, the swagger, the finger you flip when someone wants to test your skills. It's a way of life.
Ill Feelin' is the brainchild of famed graffiti artist C.L. One. A 22 year veteran of the graffiti scene in Los Angeles, C.L. is known for some of the most memorable productions and characters to ever come out of South L.A. Where most sought alliances with sets, neighborhoods or cliques, individuals like C.L. sought out the next wall, bus or train to paint. That meant crossing color lines, neighborhood boundaries and police jurisdictions to get the adrenalin rush a graffiti artist seeks. Ill Feelin' embraces and encapsulates the underground and the purity of its elements. A true hip hop way of life does not seek fame but respect and recognition. Ill Feelin' means longevity. Wanting to maintain that rawness and purity of hip hop in the visual sense, C.L. created Ill Feelin' and amassed a collection of high caliber imagery that touches upon all roads that any inner city dweller will travel.
There is no racial or economic target. If you love the culture, have perfected your skill and know that no one can do what you do best, Ill Feelin' represents you and in turn, you represent Ill Feelin'. Let them know you've got the right fuel to compete, your Ill Feelin'.
Peace y'all...
