In celebration of the release of his new single On & On, Illy has announced a headlining tour for September, set to be joined by fellow Australian hip hoppers and support acts Tuka, Allday and Elemont.
On & On is the first taste of Illy’s still unnamed album, which is set for release by summer. The album has been produced by M-Phazes, who has previously worked with the likes of Kimbra, 360 and Bliss N Eso, and will be the first release from Illy’s own record label ONETWO. Have a listen to On & On below.
Given Illy’s track record of successful singles, including It Can Wait with Owl Eyes and Cigarettes and Heard It All, big things are expected for the single, album and tour.
