Ill Shadow

Mike Didebashvilli, is a Georgian/Greek hip-hop artist, better known by his stage name ‘Ill Shadow”. Born in Georgia (9/12/1988), he spent most of his adolescence in Russia and eventually settled in Greece, Athens. He began as a kid freestyling with his skateboarding crew. Gradually he got introduced to the Hip-Hop culture with his rugged and raw Boom Bap style, influenced by New York’s underground rap scene.
His first recordings were ‘Evil Force’ Mixtapes Vol.1, Vol.2 by his rap group MG42, aka 42Squad. By 2013 they gained their first audience in the Greek rap scene with the track from their upcoming ‘Street Hunger LP’ Say What You Want featuring Taf Lathos, released from Bashment Records.
In 2015, he took the 1st place in the KTB-Contest with the track ‘Grime’, which sparked his solo career and his following ‘Six Feet Under LP’ (2017). A year later, with a fresh sound, he released a single called ‘Crossroads’ where he describes the struggles in his journey and the battle within. In 2019, he released an EP ‘Mental Disease-Double Barrel’ with Meta Blxxd. In 2020, he strikes with his solo project ‘Alien Invasion EP’, refining his work, whilst releasing a single ‘Game Over’ featuring Brak, accompanied with a video clip, getting us closer to his roots. When the pandemic struck, he started collaborating with a well-known Greek producer, Billa Quase, for their ‘Me & My Thoughts LP’ which will be released in the near future.
