“Gone” Official Video
Nearly a year in the making, here is the official video to “Gone”, directed by David Damen// of Arris Productions & Walter Nini, and Premiering through my friends over at Citybeat.
This is the first definitive release for my new EP “Synesthesia: The Yellow Movement” , which will be dropping later this Summer. It’s also the first domino we’re tipping over in a *very* long line of dominoes (be on the look out for new songs, videos, tour footage, shows, documentaries, etc.)
To quote my twitter timeline from yesterday, as I’m too lazy to write more today:
This video was made for people brave (read:stupid) enough to jump off the cliff and follow their dreams & passions. Leaving my job and life behind to do this as a potential career is easily the craziest, scariest, dumbest, smartest thing I’ve ever done. The video is also a token of appreciation for all the people, places, and memories Cincinnati has given me. Thank You.
If you genuinely dig the music and video, I just ask that you share, RT, post and spread this as far as possible. If not, don’t;)
Below is a full list of contributors who made this possible:
Killer Mike + El-P “R.A.P. Music” Live Stream
I knew this would be great when I first saw it on paper. It sounds like I thought it would but better. Nothing else to say. Listen.
Enjoy the commentary via Killer Mike.

Stalley Homecoming Show this Thursday 4/19 + OU Show Footage
This Thursday marks the return of Ohio Hip-Hop artist Stalley to his hometown of Massilon.
As part of the Ohio Takeover 2012 Tour, myself and LxE for the Uncool will be joining Stalley for his Homecoming Show at Lion’s Lincoln Theatre on Lincoln Way (hence the “Lincoln Way Nights” album).
This is a pretty unprecedented event, and I think it’s going to be really special. Our homie Jean P will be opening alongside Maaly, L Jordan & CORE.

The Miseducation of Central State University
My name is Tim Gmeiner. Those of you who read my blog know me as “Ill Poetic”, a Hip-Hop artist based out of Cincinnati & Columbus, Ohio. Over the past 4 years, I’ve had the amazing opportunity to pursue my artistry as a full-time career; touring and performing everywhere from Skate Parks in Germany to Community Centers in Cincinnati. One of the greatest gifts this winding career path has given me is the prospect of meeting so many people from so many different walks of life, all tied together through our common experiences and love for Hip-Hop Music and the culture surrounding it. From scene to scene and city to city, we become families of different races, genders, creeds, and sexual preferences. We’ve become a generation of kids who’ve peeled away our forefathers’ ugliest stereotypes without even realizing we were doing so. We are a culture with a wide range of values, beliefs, and life experiences, capable of exhibiting artists with messages from all ends of the spectrum; those positive, as well as those with the negative. Yet and still, a recent experience with Central State Universities Administrative faculty has shown that 25 years later, Hip-Hop as a genre, culture and community still finds itself defending its music and lifestyle to a population of people who group millions of complex, creative and intelligent people into a single negative image of the likes that Mainstream television and radio outlets project hip-hop to be.
Jack White “Sixteen Saltines” Video
I loved the White Stripes. I loved Dead Weather (especially with half of the group coming from Cincinnati’s awesome Greenhornes).
A Jack White Solo Record is a no-brainer. Especially when inspired by anything the RZA did or didn’t do.
Enjoy this weird-ass but strangely satisifying video to “Sixteen Saltines”
Ill Poetic x DubMD x Prefyx x SoulStice x Truth Universal “S.O.S”
A while back, my homie DubMD reached out about hopping on an EP he’d be dropping titled “Requiem”. The record is now prepped to see the light of day this Summer, and he decided to leak our song as one of the first singles. I’m really glad this beat found a home (I always wondered how an emcee would’ve approached it).
If you’re not hip to DubMD, he’s done mixtapes for everyone from Columbus’s Dominique Larue to SlaughterHouse’s Royce the 5’9″.
Enjoy the song and download free HERE

As we prepare to announce a few more dates for the Ohio Takeover 2012 Tour w/ myself, LxE & Stalley, I figured I’d pass along the link to Stalley’s new free “mixtape” (read: album) “Savage Journey to the American Dream” (insert Hunter S. Thompson reference).
Download HERE. Hit the jump to stream live and watch the “Party Heart” video that was packaged alongside the album release.

Given 5 months before he passed. On the eve of the 7 year anniversary. I still miss dude’s energy and listen to his Pandora Station on a daily basis.
