ILL BILL is a controversial and influential rapper known for his raw and sometimes shocking lyrics, his intense and abrasive delivery, and his unapologetically underground style. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Bill rose to prominence in the late 1990s as one of the key figures of the dark and violent subgenre of hip-hop known as horrorcore. Despite his reputation as a hardcore artist, Bill is also known for his thoughtful and introspective reflections on life and society.
