Well the name speaks for itself, ill-a-strated. For those who don't know me on a personal level the name is merely a reflection of myself. My art which is music is merely an expression of my soul and my lyrics are the essence of my life. It wasn't until I was 13 years old that I finally gained a huge respect for music. I had been raised on several different types of music but found hip hop to be the most appealing. My lyricism came from my love of poetry which I first started written around the same time.
