Since 2000, iLLBliss has grown his status to the upper echelons of the rap game with his streetwise indigenous sliced rhymes, uncanny album titles, and the braggadocio boss persona comparable to that of an Igbo don.
The self-dubbed Ibo Boy has endured many battles since he made his industry move with life throwing different challenges across his path, but he remains steady, five albums and a mixtape done, delving to the big screen with the movie, ”King of Boys”, and a sixth album on its way, iLLBliss stays confident reflecting on a career that he says has been full of peaks and valleys.
In this exclusive interview with Pulse, iLLBliss traces back the years, speaks on his upcoming projects and shares his thought on the rap scene.

Getting to interview iLLBliss for me was a big deal, he was one of those rappers I followed keenly as a member of the Breds in my early affinity with Nigerian hip-hop and shaking hands with him just as we got into some quick talk before the interview, this was a fulfilling moment, seeing an idol in the form that my mind had pictured.
He was a member of the rap affiliate, Da Thoroughbreds, whichwas a truly diverse crew of rappers made up of Tochukwu Nwosu aka Elajoe, Bright Nwagor better known as B Elect, Obiora Nwokolobiagu (Obiwon) and Tobechukwu Ejiofor aka iLLBliss and Amaka Nwosu aka Da Chief Rocka, sister to Elajoe and the first lady of the crew.
