New Jersey producer Illmind puts a raw-edged modern twist on the vintage boom-bap drums and jazzy melodies of '90s hip-hop. First emerging from the indie hip-hop scene in the early '00s, he's laced veteran rappers like Raekwon and Scarface with aggressive rhythms and soulful samples, and he's also added the trademark punch of his old-school beats to tracks by upstart MCs like Skyzoo and J. Cole.
