Will Vill, representing NYC

Will Vill is a force to be reckoned with. A spinner of rhymes in his Manhattan neighborhood, he pulls out the punches and doesn’t let go until you’ve gotten fully acquainted with his world. He speaks of reality, and doesn’t hold back from the gritty or grim–and he’s a natural, charismatic performer too.

For a long time, he was a closely guarded underground secret, a rapper respected by Manhattan but not known in other places.
