Welcome to Fantom Island, where iLL-Literacy's legend finds its habitat. If you've happened upon this portal, may we be as bold as to assert that nested in you is a healthy curiosity. Whether you were drawn here by the Slanted i at this page's 1-o-clock, the quick flash of during loading, or simply because you have a click-happy finger – you've arrived. HihowRUhi?
The peculiar thing about Fantom Island is that it is but a mirage – an Imaginary oasis isolated in the confines of our brainwaves. We shall gradually reveal morsels of our folklore here, so please visit often. To return, simply bring your Imagination as your passport.

Adriel Luis & Talib Kweli judge “Vote Hip-Hop”
How mad are we that Barack was gallivanting around San Francisco yesterday and he didn’t even call us??? Don’t forget about the little people, Barry.
Well, whether you’re voting for Obama, that other guy (we’re not biased at all!), or the bagel you had for breakfast, voting is definitely important. And now Generation Vote is giving everyone between the ages of 18 and 30 an opportunity to speak their mind with Vote Hip-Hop, a contest that welcomes political art in the form of audio, video, or visual deliciousness. Winners get a wad of cash, a free trip to an awards ceremony, and their work shown on a gang of websites including WireTap Magazine and BET.com!
And ohhhhh snap, Adriel’s in the lineup of judges, along with Talib Kweli, Jamilah King, Favianna Rodriguez, and Monifa Akinwole Bandele.
