Brandon Herschell Titus born in March 21, 1995 who is popularly known by his stage name illRow hails from Mitchel's Plain. He started penning down his lyrics from the age of 14, and continues to refine his skills till this day. The lyrical symphonist is not just a rapper but an entrepreneur and a true hip-hop disciple. The rapper, producer and sound engineer established a movement called Unite The Mic (UTM) which was founded in 2012 alongside his childhood friends Wanda Booi(Supreme DJ) and Tumelo Motse (Pisteuo). However, in 2018 the UTM movement restructured and became a record label with the plans of working with singer-song writer Sanelisiwe Mateta. In 2019 illRow further pursued to venture with the singer-song writer Sanelisiwe to start a publishing company. Not only he is a prolific rapper, but he has many talents in his arsenal. Growing up he was inspired by the true legends of the hip-hop game such as T.I, Immortal Technique and Hopsin, for such a humble quiet mannered young man growing up, he listened to raw hip-hop which gives him his roots for low key conscious rap. Overall, listening to his music and critically breaking down his bars, this man has the potential to blossom into the biggest artist to date.
