Stalley - Gettin' By (Video)

St

MMG's Stalley drops off another new visual from his "Honest Cowboy" mixtape with the track "Gettin' By". Another example of why he is, in my opinion, head and shoulders above the rest of his label mates artistically.

Allen Iverson Officially Retires

AI

Tonight one of the greatest basketball players of a generation will officially retire. Allen Iverson will be honoured at the Philadelphia 76er's season opener against the Miami Heat. Despite not suiting up in an NBA uniform for three years, AI will be officially retired in the city he called home for much of his career.

He never managed to get that elusive championship with the Sixers, although he came very close in 2001, but the numerous awards, personal accolades and the numbers he put on the board over the years speak volumes. The only thing I can really do is show some video highlights of his career and to wish him well. It's a sad day.

Watch his retirement press conference followed by some highlights.

DJ Scratch

One of the most amazing DJs I've ever witnessed in person is the latest guest on "Crate Diggers". DJ Scratch opens his vinyl collection with some rare treats and stories too.

Also, after his episode, check him remembering the late Jam Master Jay. JMJ died 11 years ago today.

Jonny Dub, the Manchester DJ/producer and boss man at legendary night Hoya:Hoya, releases a nice mix of tunes just in time for Halloween. Taking from horror genre spanning 40 years, this is something to accompany the upcoming festivities and earlier dark nights.

Jonny Dub -

"Probably the most out there mix I have done, straight from Vinyl (well mostly) featuring some of the horror genre's most boundary pushing and original pieces of music from the last 40 years. Please I hope you enjoy the journey.... If you like drums, synths and weird shit, then this ones for you!!"

The whole album is entirely produced by El RTNC and is not an album to be slept on.

Jon B. at Jazz Cafe Plus Q&A Presented by IllWill.co.uk

Jon B.
December sees the return of R'n'B/Soul star Jon B. to our shores, with two live shows at London's Jazz Cafe. He will have a full live band in tow and it's really not one to be missed if you grew up listening to him. I'm even hoping to venture to London for the first time in YEARS!

As an added bonus, on the second of the two dates (19th Dec), there will be a Q&A session before the main show. The interview is the first in a new venture named "The Authentic Series." This will be filmed exclusively for IllWill.co.uk

Please note that a ticket for the second Jon B. show on the 19th of December does not admit access to "The Authentic Series" before it. A separate ticket will be required. Ticket links below.
