Booya, Chicago West-Town represented full force at this year’s WestFest. Like last year illmeasures was once again on hand to provide the ill-sound (we have 3 blown sub drivers to proove it!). illmeasures’ own Justin Reed and Striz anchored Saturday and Sunday respectively.

Striz and JR live on Gravel Radio WNUR 89.3FM
wnur-gravel radio
Big ups to Tim Stroh and Gravel Radio for hosting Striz and myself-6-16-2009. It was a great chance for me to flex my downtempo/hiphop credentials – the result was serato blessed bangers and raw electonic headnod bizness.
striz got funky as a mosqueeter’s tweeter playing a mix of OG funk bombs and modern dope.
