Tommy Ill fans and cool kids can collectively rejoice! Wellington’s rapping wunderkind is back with his new single ‘Birdbath’.

Another undeniably catchy party tune, ‘Birdbath’ sees Tommy Ill step to it with lyrical swagger, top-notch flow, incisive humour and yet another flawless and obscure soul sample. With punchy brass, it’s pretty much like listening to the soundtrack to Rocky in a parallel universe where he’s a bit of a slacker, drinks perhaps a tad too much and wears skinny jeans.

If you like Tommy Ill, you will like to party and if you like to party, we assure you, you will equally like Tommy Ill. Because of this fact, Tommy Ill is hitting the road to celebrate the single’s release. He’ll also give you a sneak peak at new material from his upcoming album, set for release in early 2012.

Rather handily, you can catch him playing in New Zealand’s musical Mecca’s of Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin.
