My name is Kil and I'm a producer outta Philly living in the DMV and last year I had a placement on MOP's last album "Foundation" for a track called "Rude Bastards. I also recently produced an album for my man Vegas outta Brooklyn called "The Grey Area". (Vegasworldinc.bandcamp.com)
"Through the Wire is an instrumental album I've been working on for a minute unofficially and finally decided to finish it up and put it out. It's the perfect marriage between two of my loves, making beats and the HBO television series The Wire. I've been addicted to the Wire since it first dropped in 2002 and have been using samples from the show to match the mood of my beats since day one. Over the years I've made a rack of beats like this, and decided to put this project together for all the Wire heads out there. If you mess with the Wire and dope beats, this album is right up your alley.
Also I include 6 tracks from 6 mc's I'm producing for right now at the end to help promote them all because they all have projects coming out this year. I've got my PNC Vegas' "You're All Welcome" which is the follow up to last year's "The Grey Area". My man E.S. form BK's "Hustler's Prayer". We've got Lunchboxx's (Washington DC) "The Discipline" and Philly's Finest Driz Lo's debut album "The Missing Element". We also got Khalim aka K Fanat's (former Hydra Records signee with NYC bangers like "Zoo York", "Blowing Up Spots" and "My Style) debut album as well as VI Ghetto Kings' (Fanat with his brothers Sha-1 and Rahim) debut album. To help promote the album, everyday on my blog willmakebeatsforfood.com I'm posting some of my favorite scenes from the Wire over some of my music, so if you get a chance stop by and check them out. I recently received a perfect 5 out of 5 rating over at a hip hop site Illmuzik.com for this project.
If you feel the project I'm asking for any help you can give to help me get it heard by as many people as possible. Whether that's emailing cats about it, tweeting about it, posting on facebook about it, etc. I truly appreciate any help you can give me. Good looking in advance!

And here's a link to one of the videos from the project for "Rules of the Game (Omar's Coming)": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPKrtk9VFCQ
“Classic instrumental album! It was like I was transported into the rough streets of Baltimore. I recommend the album to fans of the show and real Hip Hop.” Final Score: 5 outta 5” – Illmuzik.com
“These beats go hard!” – KevinNottingham.com
“One of the grittiest TV series of our generation, skillfully matched with some of the slickest, REAL hip hop production I’ve heard in years. Through The Wire is dope! 5 MPC’s outta 5" -DJ Kyle "Koz" LaRue, Cox Radio Orlando, TenShareMedia.com
“There’s special attention paid to scope, with whole scenes from the show rolling-out overtop his production; it’s almost like he’s re-scoring his favorite moments from the show.” – Baltimore City Paper
“This is an instrumental, concept album laced with clips from the show as well as samples from street Hip Hop artists that are thoughtfully placed throughout to relate the instrumental it’s on. This doesn’t feel like every other Wire rip off out there. It’s a collection of beats that has a classic vibe to it but doesn’t sound dated.” – Undersoundmusic.net
“This project is very enjoyable and it introduces the audience to the production range of Kil. This project is pieced together very well and you can tell that Kil was meticulous in regards to selecting the best sound bytes and beats to match the sound bytes from the Wire.” – Praverb.net
