From Our Open Blog: The Boy Illinois “I Quit”
Perhaps one of Chicago’s best kept secrets, hip-hop recording artist The Boy Illinois recently released a new music video for single "I Quit". A loose track released in between his second solo project, Inhale Pt. 2 and critically acclaimed third solo project, Inhale Pt. 3, "I Quit" is a lyrically dark track and visual song displaying Illinois at a point in his career where he felt like giving it all up. A side not often seen or displayed by artists. Check it out. Video directed by Xack Gibson of Bag Fry Productions.
