When we first met this artist, he was performing at an open mic hosted by Can We Talk! Radio at Babylon Futbol. His performance was captivating to say the least. He gave a show stopping performance with a vast variety of content. His songs spoke to the hearts and minds of the audience while providing a rhythm that everyone could rock to. After that performance we asked RILL LYRICS to perform at our Hip-Hop & Go-Go youth Forum which was held January 20th 2008. Later, he appeared on our Internet radio show. During the show, we discussed the influences of music videos. RILL shared his views and gave us some insight from the perspective of an artist. RILL LYRICS' ability to give a mind boggling performance, give back to the community and share his views on the social issues of today have been the reason we have continued to have a professional relationship with this talented gentleman.
