The world of hip-hop is as competitive as ever, and nowhere is that truer than among producers, one of the few lucrative positions left in the market. Like emcees, producers are now battling in competitions to establish their name and separate themselves from the rest of the MPC bangers. The name Illmind first popped off on the Beat Society circuit, where he showcased with heavyweights like Kanye West and Just Blaze. Primarily known for producing tracks for underground heavyweights such as Little Brother, Boot Camp Clik, Akrobatik, and El Da Sensei, Sha Money XL’s Money Management Group has recently upgraded the New Jersey beat-smith’s seat from economy to first class, bringing new Illmind produced songs with 50 Cent, G-Unit, Redman, Black Eyed Peas, Scarface, LL Cool J, and many more. He has also been featured in multiple magazine and online publications, such as Scratch Magazine (Top 20 Best Producers), Mass Appeal, The Source, XXL, Hiphopgame.com, Hiphopdx.com, and more. But before the backpackers get their blog on, the equal-opportunity producer shows that with follow-up projects with Diamond D, Heltah Skeltah, Pharoah Monch, Jay Electronica, and more, a T-Shirt/Mixtape Line, music for the Jabbawockeez, and up-coming projects with his soon to be world-reknowned crew, Fortilive, he hasn’t forgotten his roots.

Legendary love pop rapper LL Cool J has signed a deal with Sears to produce a new line of casual gear for the kids and young adults. What better place than Sears can one go to get their “urban” on! Now young aspiring rappers and others with bad taste can kill two birds with one stone – get their hiphop gear and tools all at once! We can no doubt expect the infamous “LL Cool J by Sears” bucket hat, which doubles as great fishing gear! I am also pretty sure the sweatpants will come pre-equipped with the proverbial “One up” fashion trend LL started years ago with the one pants leg up! Hopefully for LL, this fashion foray will turn out better than his partnership with the Troop clothing line, which has strong ties with both the Ku Klux Klan and Nelly!

And a big thumbs up to you too Uncle L! You are still relevant and this deal with urban giant Sears is the proof!
