Illa Ghee gets “Gripped Up” on new video

lla Ghee brings smoothly delivered rugged prose on “Gripped.” The cinematic piece plays out like a game of cat and mouse set within the maze like stairwells and hallways of a gritty New York City project building. Don Getrouw’s tight head bop inducing production sets the tone for another impactful track from the Brooklyn rhyme assassin. Hit play and take in the gripping plot and soundtrack that forebodes the talented emcee’s upcoming full-length, “Suede Cigarettes.” -I. Vasquetelle
