Welcome to our newest on-going feature for Weareregalradio.com, the Creative Corner, which features WARR.com editorial director Kyle Means in extended interviews with various creative people across the media spectrum.

Check out our previous episodes with musician @Zo! of The Foreign Exchange and MC/DJ and funnyman @donwill of Tanya Morgan -- but not until you check out this more "bite-sized" version with Chicago new school hip-hop stalwart, and new Priority Records signee, The Boy Illinois.

Illi, as he's commonly known, made the news of his major label signing earlier this month but just before that he wasn't lacking for moves, having played the lead-in for legendary Chicago act The Cool Kids in an 25th Anniversary Show for the Empty Bottle bar in the Chi's near West Side back in April, that's when he provided Regal Radio with this exclusive interview.

Around this time Illi was also announced as a performing act at this year's Taste of Chicago and he gladly announced to us his plans for a new project called "RoadWins," the first for the former Mount Carmel student athlete since his "Dusable" EP broke him out and established him as a voice to listen to out the city along with being a trusted opening act for fellow Chicago rap star Lupe Fiasco, who had Illi on the road for much of 2016.

Hear our guy from Over East speak about what type of artist he think he's evolving into after his road experiences, his motivations with a new release in the middle of a blockbuster year for Hip-Hop and get the low down on his stage name and its intimate tie-in with Chicago rap legend -- and the recently welcomed home -- Bump J.
