illschmitt, residing from Essex County, NJ is a wordsmith 
 In 5th grade he was introduced into Hip/Hop by the art of freestyling & would often start rap circles on the playground during recess. 
 Growing up he found that while dealing with his struggles, writing & music was not only an outlet but a burning passion for him. 
 In 2018, after recording many heartfelt songs, he released a single titled “In Love With My Habits Now” which goes into his insidious love triangle with addiction, loss & acceptance. 
 4 days later his life would change forever. 
 Using his First Amendment right of “Freedom of Speech”, he released an aggressive single on SoundCloud. 4 hours later, he was unjustly jailed due to his school catching wind & finding it threatening. 
 The corrupt system we’re in got him locked up for a non-serious rap song when he was 18. Due to this, he was put on house arrest & was restricted from releasing any music under his name during what would have been the height of his career from the publicity he was receiving from XXL, Buzzfeed & other major blogs. 
 As of 2021, he is still dealing with the consequences from his heinous act of spitting bars however, he is allowed to release music again & has been trying to pick up the pieces from where he left off, as well as revise the many songs he wasn't allowed to drop during house arrest. He is turning this negative event into a positive, & inspirational success story. 
 Your support is appreciated! New music soon!
