Vakill's primary lyrical inspirations are such legendary
emcees as Kool G Rap, Ice T, T La Rock, but describes
his mind set and style on his groundbreaking record "the
Darkest Cloud" as "Pharoah Monche gone bad".
Vakill believes that through his lyrics he manifests "honest
expression" conveyed in a vivid, unexpected way.
Vakill believes that in order to succeed within this industry
is to cultivate a strong discipline and devotion to the
craft. He believes that the track that best portrays the
"full spectrum" of his personality is "the
Creed" from "The Darkest Cloud".
Following the EP "Who's Afraid?" in 1995, Vakill
released a series of singles throughout the mid to late
1990's, including the classic "Keep the Fame"
in 1997. "The Darkest Cloud" LP solidified his
international notoriety in 2003, and has paved the way
for his latest LP "Worst fears Confirmed" featuring
appearances from Ras Kass and Royce 5'9.
Hot off the buzz from last year's "Worst Fears Confirmed",
Vakill will release his magnum opus "Armor of God."
This album will once again pair him alongside longtime
collaborator Panik, plus guest production from Jake One
(G-Unit/Rhymesayers). Vocal guests are still in the works,
but are guaranteed to match Vakill's lyrical prowess.
This is a heavily anticipated album that will not let
down his core following. Written by Will Line |
