HQ's first big act of 2018, Illy, hit the stage on Friday to show why Australia loves him so much.
Ahead of Illy's national tour, he's released a music video for his popular single "You Say When".
In case you missed it or want to just relive it, we've compiled the Top 10 from Triple J's Hottest 100 with a special shout out to our fellow South Aussies who made the list.
Rapper and Aria award winner Illy just ended his national “One For The Cities” tour here in Adelaide last weekend. But there’s no rest for the wicked as the Melbourne hip hop artist gets back on the road in January to tour parts of the Eastern seaboard, and appear on the bill for Canberra motor festival, Summernats
It can be tough to transition from being a recognized drummer to being a front man or solo artist. Just ask Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters/Nirvana! Fortunately though, Cam Gilmour has moved from playing drums for Melbourne rock outfit Behind Crimson Eyes and for hip –hop artist Illy and has done so in a most surprising way. His new EP ‘Anhedonia’ (released October 7) is both unexpected and particularly refreshing. Unexpected in that it is nothing like you would expect from a rock/hip-hop drummer, but refreshing in that it captures pure emotions in its genteel beauty and substance.
