Emerging from the aggressive streets of Pittsburgh, Pa home to Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller (RIP). Ill Justice has made his mark on the music industry’s independent scene. First introduced to hip hop music as a child, he fell in love with the sound. “It spoke to me,” Justice says, “I can't explain why I fell in love with it, I just felt it in my psyche”.

Thus, he started on a quest to learn as much about hip hop as he could. He began writing and battling other artists from different neighborhoods to sharpen his skills. "That was a great time in my life, I would kill these dudes, I was so hungry back then" tells Justice. Regarded as one of the best from his borough, Ill Justice would take on all comers. As his hunger grew, so did his intensions of being a global artist. "At that time I needed more then being the best locally, I needed more than that, I can do better".

So he began to research for a record label and found an independent record company near his area. "I kept calling and calling the company until they finally told me to bring down some material" says Justice. Upon signing, he knew the real work was about to commence. "I was so excited to be in a real recording studio, I couldn't believe where I was standing, it was crazy". After being signed he released two singles, one EP, and one maxie single. "I went on tour with the other artist from the label, and damn, I enjoyed every moment of it".

Every project did very well, but none had that breakout hit they intended for. “I was a little discouraged and I wanted to give up, but I still had this burning drive in me to keep going” Justice says. So later on the record label went under, he then had no home to release any new music. He, then, decided no one was going to break him from releasing any new music. He set out to produce, record, and engineer his own projects. As of right now he released 4 albums, 12 singles, and 1 EP alike.

Currently he writes, produces, engineers, masters, designs covers, web sites, and also video production, just to name a few. He has also built his own record label "Antonik Records LLC" and secured a major distribution deal. He's come a long way from being a person, that just enjoyed and admired hip hop to becoming one of its elite artists. It’s been a long time coming, but as Ill Justice will tell you, " It's worth the delay."
