Independent Brooklyn-based rapper Ill Bill will receive backing on his forthcoming album from a number of Hip-Hop heavyweights, including Wu-Tang Clansman Raekwon and underground rap fixture Immortal Technique.
The album, titled The Hour Of Reprisal, is the follow up to Ill Bill’s first release What’s Wrong with Bill?
In addition to the debut, the former Non Phixion and current La Coka Nostra member has released a string of mixtapes.
Raekwon and Immortal Technique are among the artists featured on The Hour of Reprisal.
Collaborations with Cypress Hill frontman B-Real, Vinnie Paz and Necro are also featured on the album, which also features appearances from legendary hardcore punk band Bad Brains and heavy metal groups Slayer and Killswitch Engage.
