The iLLroots founders Mike Waxx and Mike Carson found the perfect balance in perpetuating an effortlessly cool aesthetic while maintaining their reputation as one of the most reliable sources of all things rap-related. iLLroots is always one of the first rap blogs to report breaking news; whether it's a new song, music video, or news in general, you can look towards Waxx and Carson's blog to keep yourself up-to-date. Aside from iLLroots, they also direct music videos (Big Sean's "Dance (A$$)"? That was them), and have released a clothing line called iLLamerica, which, like their blog, is painfully cool.
