ARTIST: Tommy Ill
Hello, my name is Tommy Ill, and I am a rapper from Wellington. I've been doing it for quite a while now. People seem to like it. I don't rap about guns, drugs or bling. I'm more likely to rap about girls. Girls and drinking. Girls, drinking and phone bills.
In 2007 I put out an EP called Toast And Tea Kettles. It did really well; two of the songs got nominated for bNet Awards (Best Hip Hop Track and RadioActive Song of the Year). My song Bill Cosby made it into the top 10 on almost every bNet radio station in the country.
My trusty sidekick Buck Beauchamp and I play a whole bunch of shows, and really good looking people come to those shows. They dance and clap. It's quite a lot of fun. We usually play with indie or electro bands as their crowd seem to like us more than the more traditional hip hop people. I've made live guest appearances with many bands including So So Modern, Cut Off Your Hands, Holiday With Friends and Heat Like Me...
