Background notes
Archive material and source history
E.C. Illa came together in New York with Illmatic, Cormega, Nature, and Tragedy Khadafi. They made a point of sticking to the kind of raw, straightforward hip-hop they grew up on, the sort you hear on tracks like "Old School Tactics." Their name spells out that commitment: E.C. for East Coast, and Illa for the lyrical focus.
They put out their debut, "The E.C. Illa LP," and followed it with albums like "The Renaissance," "The Hardest," and "Killin' Time." The music stayed grounded in that classic sound, built on hard beats and direct rhymes, as you can hear on "What You Be About?" They worked independently, which meant doing things their own way from the start.
