OG Illa is a rapper, producer, visual artist and entrepreneur. Born
to a teenage mother who lacked the resources to properly care for her
children, he was placed in foster care at the age of 10. As a foster
child, OG carried from his early upbringing a love for the 90’s rap,
gospel and R&B music that his mom would play constantly around the
house during his childhood. After transitioning from a life of poverty
to one surrounded by prestige in Richmond's affluent West End, the
budding lyricist was inspired to leverage his passion for hip hop toward
building a better life on his own terms.
His
background in hip hop event booking has given OG the opportunity to
perform on-stage with a roster of notable independent artists that
include Riff Raff, Lil B, Ace Hood, Action Bronson, Hopsin, Dizzy Wright, Los, Vinny Cash, Kid Daytona, Jarren Benton, Phil Ade, and Cory Gunz.
