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.

SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON: The Little Mermaid
Our peoples have been blasting announcements about our new single to the press, who today may be logging onto here for the first time expecting to see a rap site and instead seeing The Little Mermaid. But fuuuuuuuck ittttt. I can post mermaids and still be a thug…sheeeeeeit. Over the past two months we were going insane trying to find songs that are reminiscent of how we wanted “Gentleman’s Kool-Aid” to sound so the engineer could get a sense of how to mix it. But of course, it wasn’t until tonight–two days after we released the track–that I realize that the answer is and always was in SEBASTIAN!! Damn that crafty racistly-charming rasta crab!
“Under the Sea” captures all the orchestrated chaos, diversity in voices, excessive festive horns, and satirical writing that we sought to conjure in “Kool-Aid.” And like Disney songs, we hope we can shift our audience to a place where songs need no rules…where a raw 16-bar verse can co-exist with a giant swordfish singing background vocals. If you’ve heard our song you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t heard our song, WTF???????
Dammit, I really wish I had thought of all of this 2 weeks ago. Oh well, we just sent the engineer a bunch of Jeezy instead, which basically accomplishes the same thing.
