When he’s not pulling 10-hour shifts there’s only one other place that I.B. Classic gravitates towards, the studio. After spending the last year teaming up with some of the best in Chicago’s bubbling talent pool, the producer has finally come together to deliver his own full length debut titled When All Else Fails. Fusing old school vibes with a new age grind, I.B. drew inspiration from a variety of legends like Smokey Robinson, Dr. Dre and even Phil Collins. The result? A smoldering project packed with features from some of Chicago’s best MCs including Saba, Logan, Young Lyxx, MC Tree and more. With an original production style that often incorporates live music, I.B. is gaining traction for bringing individuality back to the Windy City. Salute. Get familiar.
