About Ill Noiz Records
Founded in 2000 by Peoria natives Damar Bradford and Jordan Book, Ill Noiz Records has been a driving force in Midwest Hip-hop and alternative music, carving out a space for unique, independent voices in rock, hip-hop, and experimental genres. What began as a modest passion project soon evolved into a full-fledged record label committed to amplifying the sounds and stories of the Peoria underground and beyond. Damar and Jordan’s shared vision was to foster a creative community that didn’t just reflect the heart of Illinois but also challenged boundaries with raw authenticity and bold soundscapes.
With an artist roster featuring local legends like D. Brad & P-Mac, Jeremy Rain, Asleep on the Couch, Shrubb the Thug (Keith Edwards), and a growing catalog that’s rooted in gritty realism and experimental edge, Ill Noiz Records has made waves far beyond the Illinois River Valley. Known for their artist-centric approach, Bradford and Book prioritize creative freedom and collaboration, allowing musicians to stay true to their artistic vision.
Ill Noiz Records has become more than just a label—it’s a cornerstone of the Peoria music scene and a beacon for independent artists across the Midwest. From sold-out shows at venues like the Peoria Civic Center to grassroots events, Ill Noiz continues to cultivate and celebrate the raw talent that defines Peoria's music culture. Whether you’re looking for boundary-pushing rock, introspective indie sounds, or fresh hip-hop beats, Ill Noiz Records delivers with uncompromising style and heart.
