The Illest DJ You've Never Heard @jayilla

People in Chicago have an affinity for day parties. The drinks, the sun, the people... but most importantly the music. Many people have grooved along to the melodic magic of DJ Jay Illa, but have you ever wondered what life is like behind the scenes?

"Don't Sweat The Technic" is a new web series giving viewers a peek inside the world of Chicago DJ Jay Illa as he balances life between his 9-5 and grinding it out on the 1s and 2s.

"A product of the Chicago underground hip-hop scene, he was dubbed iLLaNOise by Chicago legend Twilite Tone during his days with the League, eventually settling on the moniker Jay iLLa aka iLLaNOise.  
As a Chicago nightlife scene veteran, Jay iL currently has residencies throughout the downtown area. He also has a standing monthly event, TGIFresh, hosted at Tantrik and other venues throughout the city."



Being from Chicago I've had the pleasure of hearing DJ Jay Illa spin a ton of times and can genuinely count him as one of my favorite DJs. I'm really excited to get a behind-the-scenes look at what life is like from his perspective. It's also dope to see the overall production and editing quality of his web series. Kudos to him and @E_Seals for putting together what I think will be a landmark series of its kind!

Valentino & @Colibaby's "Drummer Boy" feat @MsRici

Okay... let me explain this post lol...

I'm the FIRST one to admit that while I don't knock anyone's music dream, I'm definitely NOT the biggest supporter. I don't want to go to your concert, push your music, or hand out flyers. I'm a pretty worthless friend if you're a musician. Well, let me clarify - - I haven't yet learned how to be excited about the profession. Anyways, I digress...

The below video is actually featuring my amazing sexy, hot, mother of TWIN BOYS (that I'm the Godmother to lol) friend LaRicia. She's an all-around fab friend, go-getter, pr machine, awesome mom... she's just pretty amazing and she is beautiful and the lead in Valentino's "Drummer Boy" video. The video also features CoStar who I went to High School with, randomly enough...

So, watch the video because LaRicia is in it looking amazing and while you're there, maybe you'll enjoy the song too lol...
