Besides almost causing underground internet beef last week, the folks at KevinNottingham.com have been working on this project for over 10 weeks. IllTravis; a tribute to Illmatic. But don’t take my words for it, I’ll let Kevin explain it himself (Tracklist & Download after that):
Kevin Nottingham – Over the course of 10 weeks, producers from all across the globe came together to help create a vision… a vision to recreate a classic; to pay homage to Nas‘ 1994 debut album Illmatic. Trav Williams came to me with this idea in the fall of 2008. I saw this as the perfect opportunity to hold a beat contest on the site and get everyone involved. As one of the five judges, I can say that picking the beats wasn’t easy, but in the end I think we all gave Trav some great material to work with. Trav quickly went into the studio and here you have… IllTravis.
