2025 headliner
illism
iLLism is a Minneapolis-grown duo rooted in rhythm, truth, and deep creative connection. Formed by married artists Fancy and Envy, their sound blends hip-hop, soul, and R&B with echoes of the Minneapolis Sound—always intentional, always evolving. As performers, they bring more than music—they bring presence. From live instrumentation to layered vocals and lyricism, iLLism creates moments that move people. Their shows feel like homecomings: soulful, electric, and grounded in community. Every beat, every lyric, every design is their own—self-written, self-produced, self-recorded. For iLLism, art is liberation, and legacy is built one honest expression at a time.
