“MADD ILLZ- Second Installment Intro”

— watcher, Real Hip Hop Forever

“GRINDTIMENOW: LOUNGE BATTLES 9: Earlier last month, The Bboy Spot was home to Lounge Battles 9, presented by Madd Illz and GrindTimeNow. The event showcased over 19 MC performances, a 32-man MC rumble, a memorable 2vs2 MC street battle, performance battles and a producers battle showcasing some of Florida’s most talented producers. To top it all off, MURS and Wordsworth both made guest appearances to help host the event, judge the battles, and just chill with the crowd.”

“MADD ILLZ Knocks kid into machine. This is footage from the Rock the Bells tour. I just realized that I accidentally bumped into this little kid and knocked him into a machine at the arcade we were at. Watch my left side as it happens when I am walking away lol. Guess this can be added to the whole, “MADD ILLZ kicks kids of bikes” Gifs lol. Make sure to subscribe and follow me on twitter: @MADDILLZ”

— grindtimenow, Grind Time Now

“Where the “MADD ILLZ kicks kids off bikes” came from. Nowadays, I get a lot of people asking me about the footage of me (MADD ILLZ) kicking a kid off of his bike. During his battle with Swave Sevah vs Syd, Swave turns to me and mentions it. With the ever-growing scene and list of history references, I have decided to clear where the line and footage comes from. The line and footage comes from a video shot for two artists in orlando (OZONE). The video is below along with outtakes which shows the two different scenes of me kicking the kid off the bike. Pay close attention and you will see Rugged mush the same kid in a different scene. The next post I make is sure to make it into the hands of trolls everywhere as well. I will be posting a video of me actually bumping into a small kid and knocking him into a “claw game” machine at the mall lol. Should the “Hot air Balloon” battle be explained next? lol”

“MADD ILLZ feature in Crunk Magazine For the last six years, Florida hip-hop artist, Madd Illz, has established himself as a premier battle emcee. Illz has won or placed well in some of the nation’s biggest battles. At Atlanta’s Illfest, he beat out 49 contestants for the top title. At the World Rap Championships, Illz won his division and ended with a ranking of number eight in the world. Madd Illz’s approach to the rap game tends to be left of center. Unsigned and self-funded, he’s managed to tour extensively in the last few years hitting cities, filling clubs and turning heads from East to West. His first tour, appropriately named the “Do it yourself tour”, was his way of letting the masses know exactly where his head was. After two years of scaling back his recording and touring schedule to get his battle hosting and promoting company, Grind Time, up and running, Illz is back to release more of his outspoken attack on the status quo in 2009.”

“WHAT INSPIRES MADD ILLZ? Originally from Texas, Madd Illz has been rapidly making a name for himself in the battle rap circuit by competing in as many freestyle competitions and cyphers as possible. In 2007, Illz teamed up with Parable and competed in the JumpOff World-Rap Championships, which ranked Illz 8th in the world. After winning over 25+ battle tournaments, Illz parted from battling to independently coordinate two tours and release four albums (“Barever”, “Second Installment”, “General Article”, & “United Slaves of America”). His talent, hustle, and powerful stage presence has earned him performances alongside The Wu-Tang Clan, Immortal Technique, KRS-One, Method Man, and other legendary artists. Madd Illz is also a co-CEO of Grind Time Now, the world’s largest battle rap league. He is now working on a solo album titled “Unauthorized Absence”. Stay updated with Madd Illz at www.MaddIllz.com. ”

“Pure Cash Magazine Cover & Feature Madd Illz has congregated in the center of the Orlando hip-hop scene for many years. Along the way, his sharp wit, timely humor, and overall relentlessness has earned him countless awards and trophies. After demolishing the demeanor and self-esteem of most of his surrounding MCs in freestyle battle competitions, one must check out his Myspace page to listen to some of his original music. Tracks like “Never Coming Back” display his multi-faceted musicianship that disables any critic to pigeonhole him into one corner. Madd Illz is an immense talent with a bright future. Years have passed and Madd Illz is still known as the elite battle-rapper that he is. Since his reign as master, he has launched three albums and has been on countless tours which, only developed his cult following into what it is today. Madd Illz the “Guerrilla Republikan” will continue to grow into the Hip Hop powerhouse that has been long awaited in the underground circuit.”
