In late 1994, MC Serch (of 3rd Bass fame) took his protégé Sabac Red and teamed him up with DJ Eclipse and Ill Bill, thereby creating the group known as Non Phixion. Within six months Goretex, a childhood friend of Ill Bill, had joined the crew after freestyling for MC Serch. MC Serch did not appear in Non Phixions first album "The Future Is Now". Non Phixion made two studio albums and a promotional tape named "The Past, The Present And The Future Is Now" that was released before their first album "The Future Is Now", all Non Phixion's work is highly regarded in the underground hip hop scene. Ill Bills brother Necro produced a lot of material for Non Phixion, including most of "The Past, The Present And The Future Is Now" and several other tracks from "The Green CD" and "The Future Is Now".
Circle of Tyrants was an underground hip hop group consisting of Necro, Ill BIll, Mr Hyde and Goretex. The group only released one album, named "The Circle of Tyrants" which was released in 2005 under Necro's Psycho-Logical-Records. Necro produced all tracks on this album. Though only releasing one album, these four members often collaborated at the same time on the members solo albums.
Founded in late 2005 with no intention to record an album, La Coka Nostra was more a loose collective of artists connected through Danny Boy than a group. Having taken time off from rap after the break-up of House of Pain, Danny Boy took to working in video production and fashion as well as mentoring other artists. He met Slaine in Boston and, impressed with his writing, brought him to L.A. to record some tracks. Eventually it turned into more of a group effort including the former members of House of Pain and Ill Bill, it was announced that Everlast would be leaving La Coka Nostra due to his daughter's medical issues.
Heavy Metal Kings is a group featuring veteran rappers Ill Bill (Non Phixion/La Coka Nostra) and Vinnie Paz (Jedi Mind Tricks/Army of the Pharaohs). In 2006, Ill Bill was featured on the single "Heavy Metal Kings" by hip hop duo Jedi Mind Tricks, released through Babygrande Records.
Ill Bill and Vinnie Paz have since combined forces to form a group of the same name, "Heavy Metal Kings," and record a full self-titled album to be released April 5, 2011 through Enemy Soil/Uncle Howie.
Heavy Metal Kings 2 was officially confirmed and recording in 2013. It was announced that the album would be in stores in 2014 however as of March 2015 has yet to be released.
Heavy Metal Kings VS DJ Muggs was posted to be in the works by an associated producer on 2011, to this date this album has had no more updates or information released. It is not known if this album is still in the works.

Ill Bill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can be a millionaire and never pay taxes
Rust, I got to bust to my destination
I woke up late time from other transportations
Trains and busses – public adorations so better turn
But where I'm going to is a place where it really burns
And burns my brain, my job, my occupation
4, 25$ an hour, leaves my mouth sour
Minimum wages like I'm caged in the prison tower
Tell you to take out another person flips
They can't cope so they create their own economics
With an Uzi some ammunition and a flat jacket
Stick up kids, wanna be fat like Buddy Hacket
And get props, ranks, thanks, power position
A piece of paper with a picture of a dead politician
So many times I've seen people play stupid for money
And at the funeral it isn't funny
But nevertheless the world turns, it doesn't burn
Cause money make the world go round is what I always heard
That's when I got that sadly look on my face
No matter how fast I run, I always wind up in last place
So I just like to would pick myself up an automatic
So I can end my fate check without a denim static
Got nothing to lose except my head
Yo I'm in it to win it and imma spray the town blood red
Autroprenorial skills coming all fly
And economically it doesn't matter if somebody die
It's all about getting the dollars and jewel specs
So give it up before I put your life in fast checks
Yeah I got money coming out my ass
Yeah I got money coming out my ass
In Ill Bill's song "Economics," he makes a statement about his love for money and all of the possibilities that come with it. He references the concept of being a millionaire and never having to pay taxes, highlighting the power that money has over the government and society as a whole. Through his vivid descriptions of his daily struggles, Ill Bill brings attention to the struggles of the working class, specifically focusing on low wages and the lack of opportunities for economic mobility.
In the first stanza, Ill Bill describes his daily commute through the city, using public transportation to get to his destination. He comments on the frustration caused by his low-paying job, which feels like a prison. He highlights the desperation of those who turn to crime in order to escape the cycle of poverty, as well as the corruption of politics and the power that comes with money. Despite his love for money, he also acknowledges the darker side of greed and the harm that it can cause.
Overall, "Economics" serves as a commentary on the exploitative nature of capitalism and the difficulties faced by those who are trapped in the system. Through his powerful lyrics, Ill Bill sheds light on the struggles of the working class and encourages listeners to question the status quo.
Line by Line Meaning
I love everything about money
I have a deep affection for money and all it represents
You can be a millionaire and never pay taxes
It is possible to accumulate wealth without contributing to the society that enabled your accumulation
Rust, I got to bust to my destination
I have to go quickly to my destination
I woke up late time from other transportations
I missed other means of transportation, so I have to hurry now
Trains and busses – public adorations so better turn
Although I like public transportation, I have to switch to a different mode of transportation now
But where I'm going to is a place where it really burns
My destination is a challenging place
And burns my brain, my job, my occupation
My work causes me intense stress
Another motherfucking source of frustration
My work is another source of annoyance
4, 25$ an hour, leaves my mouth sour
Earning such a low wage makes me feel resentful
Minimum wages like I'm caged in the prison tower
Being paid just the minimum wage feels like being trapped in a cell
Tell you to take out another person flips
People resort to crime because they can't handle financial difficulties
They can't cope so they create their own economics
Some resort to illegal means to get by financially
With an Uzi some ammunition and a flat jacket
They arm themselves to commit crimes
Stick up kids, wanna be fat like Buddy Hacket
Criminals aspire to be wealthy and famous like movie stars
And get props, ranks, thanks, power position
Criminals earn respect and power in their communities
A piece of paper with a picture of a dead politician
Money is printed with the image of deceased political leaders
So many times I've seen people play stupid for money
I have witnessed people acting foolish to earn money
And at the funeral it isn't funny
Their death is not a laughing matter
But nevertheless the world turns, it doesn't burn
Despite its problems, the world moves forward
Cause money make the world go round is what I always heard
Money is a crucial force for the world's economy, as I have always heard
That's when I got that sadly look on my face
This realization makes me feel mournful
No matter how fast I run, I always wind up in last place
I always seem to be at a disadvantage, no matter how hard I try
So I just like to would pick myself up an automatic
I would like to acquire an automatic weapon
So I can end my fate check without a denim static
So I can avoid being caught by the police during my robbery
Got nothing to lose except my head
I have nothing to lose, except for my life
Yo I'm in it to win it and imma spray the town blood red
I'm committed to succeeding in my criminal endeavors, even if that means causing violence
Autroprenorial skills coming all fly
I have entrepreneurial skills that are impressive
And economically it doesn't matter if somebody die
I don't care about the impact of my actions on society, as long as I profit
It's all about getting the dollars and jewel specs
The ultimate goal is acquiring wealth and material possessions
So give it up before I put your life in fast checks
Hand over your possessions life-threatening violence will follow
Yeah I got money coming out my ass
I have a tremendous amount of money
Yeah I got money coming out my ass
I have a tremendous amount of money
