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.
Fantom Island
Such Great Heights
IT’S OFFICIAL!!!! Last night we signed our lease for the new iLL-house, a dope 2-story apartment nestled in between Prospect Heights and Crown Heights. Just 2 blocks from the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library, and hella parks. We have no excuse to not be inspired.
Today we fly back to Oakland and over the next two weeks we pack up all our stuff, kiss our mamas goodbye, jet to Seattle to rock Bumbershoot, and fly straight into NYC for the official move-in on September 15.
Speaking of Bumbershoot, we’re hella excited to be a part of the festival but I’m kinda bummed that our Sept. 6 slot is at the same time as one of my all-time favorite jazz musicians, Roy Ayers. We’ll just have to have this on constant rotation.
We live in Brooklyn, baby.
