It has been a crazy month so far, full of family functions, non stop events, and a constant hustle of work. It only continues to motivate me further into the future. That said, The Illphonics Show will be taking a break for the rest of the month of March due to the fact that I will be traveling to do shows in other states and cities. Illphonics will return full strength in the month of April. This is the last season of Illphonics, a new show is on the horizon.
I appreciate everyone who has supported me and I will always give peace and respect back to everyone who has helped me along the way. A great talent of guests have appeared on my show and will continue to do so. Freestyle Fridays has become a giant success. Thank you to everyone who has made Illphonics and Freestyle Fridays the dope showcases that they have become.
Now for what the people want, the downloads. Freestyle Fridays 3 and 4 have gone down and I will post them below. Illphonics returns April 2nd 2010!
