Nico’s doppelgänger, TiVO, takes over.

A lot can happen on the way back home. After three relentless years in New York City fighting rats, roaches, and robbers – like Dragonballs after a wish, the members of iLL-Literacy dispersed to separate corners of the globe.

Nico landed in Los Angeles, but immediately began feeling sick. He ignored it the best he could as he landed in LAX, drove past the palm trees, and landed in his Santa Monica yacht community. That night, he dreamt that a faction of his blood cells became discontent with the vessel in which it swam. “Come, comrades!” shouted the King White Cell. “Blood rivers yonder flow with scent of Scotch!” The cells climbed from his flesh, through his pores, and vanished as a single organism into the night.

The next morning, Nico awoke to a series of Youtube videos released by someone possessing the same face, voice, and late 90’s-era typewriter flow as himself. Donning the name TiVO (an acronym for “The Voice Of ignorance,”), Nico’s doppelgänger had found camaraderie with a pack of miscreants known by at least 25 followers as The Banger Bros.

Threatening to release club joints until Nico finishes his new album Macallan 18, the recent California returnee has been consumed by the production of his new solo project, instead of slurping oysters with Selena Gomez as he had originally hoped.
