about

"If all else fails, my pen don't" is the 9th solo project from ILL Gordon and 2nd project exclusively produced by Deka Derse. The project includes features from Vell da General and IAMGAWD.

The premise of the project is to display that even in the midst of chaos, it is still important to focus on your crafts and pursue your aspirations even when you feel that time and hope is lost. "If all else fails, my pen don't" is a well put together project where ILL displays his ability to be a story teller, introspective motivational speaker, and avid bar spitter.
