Yung Ill spoke with VladTV Battle Rap Journalist Michael Hughes at the Smack/URL "Born Legacy" event about his return to Battle Rap after going through rough times.  Ill came back officially vs Charlie Clips, and addressed how he believes Clips choked in the battle and then blamed Ill for talking through his rounds to cover it up.  

He continued to rank K-Shine, who was his opponent for the night, and spoke about the increase of fan love after it seemed as though his battle career might be over.  

Yung Ill isn't dwelling on the past and looks at it as a way to see who is really loyal to him and who isn't.
