A Raptalk exclusive interview with Ill Bill & DJ Muggs! These two legendary musical figures have come together for a collaborative album, “Kill Devil Hills” being released on Tuesday, August 31st.
A very interesting and unique project, we get a lot of in-depth information from both Muggs & Bill who were both happy to join us for the interview.
We discuss the albums title, “Cult Assassin” first single, Fatbeats Records, interesting cover art and more.
With a track on the album titled “Illuminati 666”, do Muggs & Bill believe in the illuminati? We ask them!
And much more below…
Raptalk.net: We’re right here with Ill Bill & DJ Muggs. This is a Raptalk exclusive. The collaboration album between you two “Kill Devil Hills” drops August 24th. Explain that title to us, because that is very unique.
Ill Bill: That’s a real place in North Carolina called kill devil hills. It’s actually the birth place of aviation. The Wright brothers actually took flight and built the first airplane in kill devil hills North Carolina. It’s just a crazy name. There are a bunch of different reasons [for the album’s title]. I don’t really wanna’ break it down too much. I want y’all to get the album and see for yourself. But I see you like that name. It’s crazy right?
Raptalk.Net: It’s crazy. I can definitely see some deeper meaning to that.
Ill Bill: Yeah, there are a bunch of different reasons. We can talk about that for an hour.
Raptalk.Net: No doubt. On the first single, the first track off the album, “Cult Assassin.” Talk to us about that record.
Ill Bill: “Cult Assassin” is the theme song for the whole album. If this were a movie, that’s the song that would play during the opening credits. It just jumped out as the one. It’s the first song on the album so I felt that should be the first song y’all should hear. I and Muggs dropped that one for y’all.
Raptalk.Net: And without getting into too much of the politics of course, why Fatbeats Records as the label to release this project?
Ill Bill: I’ve been working with Fatbeats for a long time. I’ve established a good relationship with them. I and Muggs decided that we wanted to rock with Fatbeats for this record. It’s not too complicated; they’re people we’ve been working with for a minute. They presented something [an offer] cool and I and Muggs decided to rock with us.
Raptalk.net: Cool. Muggs, are you with us?
DJ Muggs: Right here man.
Raptalk.Net: We had Bill explain the title to us, so I want you now to explain the cover art, because it looks pretty cool too.
DJ Muggs: It’s an owl on the front. An owl can see things that we can’t see. You know owls can see things in the dark. It’s also a symbol for the illuminati. An owl represents a lot of different logical and spiritual meanings. We thought it best represent what this record is about, being that this record does have a lot of those same meanings.
