Illaman – Give Us A Smile [EP] + Times Of Change (feat. DRS) [Video]

New music from rapper Illaman with the release of the EP Give Us A Smile – a darkly intriguing soundpiece that feels like the inner narration of a street griot feeling the weight of rainy overcast days and claustrophobic city scenery – but in a good way. Standout cuts include the tense and pulsing “Times of Change” (which features DRS on the chorus and a wintry video workup from the media company Tarish.Vision); a simmering and slightly surreal cut called “Air Max & Avirex“; and the confessional “Give Us A Smile” that feels like the sort of theme music you would want playing in the background as you soared down a lonely highway under a beaming full moon. You can show your support by purchasing the EP from your favorite spot below as well as check out more from Illaman by visiting the links listed.

“Nervous, happy and excited to tell you my 6 track EP “Give Us a Smile” is now available to stream/buy on Potent Funk Records. Produced in full by Norm Oddity. Check out the video for “Times of Change” featuring my brother DRS. Shot by Tarnish.Vision on location in sunny Manchester. I was a bit depressed and down when I wrote these songs but now when I listen to them I hear light. I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think. Love ❤” – Illaman
