Revalation & GoD iLLa ft. Mayhem (of EMS) - A Game (Directed by Myster DL)


Revalation & GoD iLLa invite Mayhem (of EMS) to join them for their new visual "A Game" produced by Gajos (Poland) and directed by Myster DL (Onyx, Griselda, Redman, etc). The video, loosely inspired by the film "Pain and Gain," details three up and coming "workout buffs" aspiring to take over the fitness scene in their city with their new gym and "A Game" fitness program. The vintage style video is full of hilarious narcissism, clever absurdity and is a throwback to the golden era of humor filled hip-hop videos.

Revalation & GoD iLLa ft. M-Dot - I Been prod. by L.O.B.



After the success of their previous two singles "Wu Wednesday" and "Dreamchaser," Revalation and long time collaborator GoD iLLa join forces with acclaimed Boston rhyme titan M-Dot to bring you their new music video "I Been." This "Big Lebowski'' meets "Kingpin" inspired video (shot by director Lil Rayy) is a throwback to the fun hip-hop videos of yesteryear but still sees each emcee spitting braggadocio venom over a menacing back drop by Serbian producer L.O.B. The song (mixed by German engineer Sensus) serves as the third single off their upcoming album "RevILLutionAries" dropping 4/30/21 and available for Pre-Order Here.

Revalation & GoD iLLa - RevILLutionAries


"RevILLutionAries" not only signifies a play on their respective aliases "Rev" & "ILLA," but also as the concept of the album which focuses on inspiring a stagnant society through a barrage of in your face rhymes and eclectic beatscapes. The tracks range from inspirational anthems such as "Dreamchaser" which shows the duo's versatility to "Keeping On ft. Kore (of EMS)" which touches on social issues & personal strife.

But the crew makes sure to feed their niche fanbase with braggadocio & punchline driven tunes such as "I Been ft. M-Dot" and "A Game" ft Mayhem (of EMS). Other highlights include "Sound of Love ft. Lou Sixx" which finds them sharing their personal vices for dealing with life's daily hardships and the riveting "Dope City," which takes the perspective of two addicts and paints a picture on the difficulties of fighting addiction. Overall the album is powerful & uplifting, carrying that feeling throughout as the emcees flex their lyrical muscle while also trying to inspire and give people hope in a troubling time when that's all some people need

Revalation & GoD iLLa - Wu Wednesday (feat. DJ Flipcyide) prod. by Tecknowledgy


Long time EMS member Revalation re-connects with GoD iLLa to rekindle their verbal magic for the 1st single off their much anticipated project "RevILLutionAries" due out April 30th. On "Wu Wednesday" both mass. based emcees find themselves in full stride despite having not rhymed together since their crew Mic Murderers put out an onslaught of mixtapes in the early to mid 2000s.

The gritty snares & rhythmic keys by Rhode Island producer Tecknowledgy (Mac Miller, Rapsody, Kooley High) set the perfect backdrop for Rev and Illa to trade clever punchlines and witty wordplay all while paying homage to one of their true inspirations, the legendary 90's group Wu-Tang Clan. And to tie it all together, the hook is laced with nostalgic cuts by Wu- Affiliate DJ Flipcyide.
