Earlier this year I started gaining a hectic interest in the
rap collective straight out of my home citaaay Joburg, REVIVOLUTION! Along with
this interest came an interest in one of the members – Illy Amin! Illy Amin
takes us on a journey through the rap game in SA as he explores interesting
flows and beats that aren’t too common to our rap industry. Straight Outta
Grimetown is easily in my Top 10 mixtapes released this year firstly because of its relevance to me and
other Joburg rap appreciators, and secondly because of the insane punchlines that and flows that I really wasn't expecting at all! Illy easily delivered some of the illest (see
what I did there?) punchlines I’ve heard this entire year. Some of my favourite
tracks would have Redbull Music Academy
Session, Ric Flair, On My Soul and
Pimp Pimp Hooray. A really dope mixtape that birthed new fans and rap
appreciators not just in the city of gold but nationwide!
