Halfcut & Daniel Son "Soul Ice" (Mr. ilango Remix)

I wanted to share a bit about how this remix came together.

When I heard the vocals for “Soul Ice,” I knew I wanted to keep it simple and smooth. The vibe was already there, so my goal was to build something cool and soulful around it. I dug through a few records and ended up using parts from three or four different ones that all felt like they belonged in the same world.

One record gave me the main melody, another added some texture, and the rest helped shape the rhythm and feel. I focused more on space and groove than doing anything flashy. Letting the beat breathe was important so the vocals could sit comfortably.

Mucho respect to Halfcut and ColeTheGod for doing this contest. It was a reminder of why I love making beats, digging records and all that jazz. #neverstopdigging

How one Samuel L. Jackson line inspired my latest track

You know that moment when you're in the studio and everything just clicks? That's exactly what happened when we were putting together "Fonzie" with Tha Professor and K.O. Strat. The whole concept came from one of those late-night sessions where we were talking about movies and music, and someone mentioned that Samuel L. Jackson line from Pulp Fiction - "we're gonna be like three little Fonzies, and what's Fonzie? Cool." It just hit us. That unshakeable confidence when everything around you is chaos? That's the energy we wanted to capture.

Working with these guys was incredible because they immediately understood the vision. We weren't trying to sample the movie or do some basic interpolation, we wanted to capture that feeling. There's so much noise in the scene right now, everyone trying to be the loudest or most controversial, but sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is just be cool, and let the work speak for itself.

"Fonzie" is streaming everywhere now, and honestly, I'm proud of how it turned out. We managed to pay homage to a classic cinema moment while creating something that feels completely fresh and current. Sometimes staying cool is the smartest move you can make, we just turned that philosophy into a track ... Tranquilo

"Iron Knife" K.O. Strat, Professor & Mr. ilango Take you on a Trippy Boom Bap Ride

“Iron Knife” is the new track from K.O. Strat, Tha Professor, and Mr. Ilango — and it hits like a psychedelic fever dream. Imagine classic boom bap drums colliding with swirling, ayahuasca-inspired textures. The result is raw, hypnotic, and heavy.

Each artist brings their own energy: sharp verses, cryptic wordplay, and gritty production that pulls you into a jungle of sound. It’s underground hip hop at its most experimental — sharp, dark, and unforgettable.

The single is live now on Spotify, Apple Music and more.

New Remix: Navy Blue & Billy Woods "Poderosa"

Just dropped a new remix of “Poderosa” by Navy Blue featuring Billy Woods. The original track hit hard—deep, poetic, and full of emotion. I wanted to flip it into something darker and more cinematic while keeping that same raw energy.

This remix leans into dusty boom bap drums, eerie textures, and a stripped-down, hypnotic vibe. I also edited the video to match—lo-fi and moody, with a grainy, dreamlike feel.

Navy Blue and Billy Woods are two of the most powerful voices in underground hip hop. This remix is my tribute, my way of reinterpreting something already powerful in a new light.
