"iLLLOGICK - ‘THE LOGICK PROTOCOL' - VOL. XXXII" | DECRYPTING THE ORIGIN OF THE SUFFIX | CIPHER CHRONICLES: [TRANSMISSION], [ROOT DIRECTORY]
FIG 6.0: The working placeholder data card for iLLLogick (The Catalyst), displaying his designated arsenal (Versebreaker & The Arcane Orb of Resonance) and his familiar (The Iliad Nodes) within The Resonant Wilds.
SUBJECT: THE RESONANT CATALYST & THE "LOGICK" PROTOCOL
I. Decrypting the Frequency
In our previous transmission, we decrypted the [SOURCE CODE] of the Founder. Today, the signal shifts. We are tuning into the frequency of the Co-Founder—the entity responsible for the resonance that binds the structure together.
We have initiated a scan of the [ROOT DIRECTORY]. Our objective: to analyze the "Resonant Catalyst" known as iLLLogick, verifying the integrity of his origin and the "unflinching honesty" required by the System.
The signal is live. Connection established.
II. The [TRANSMISSION]: iLLLogick
STATUS: FULLY DECRYPTED ROLE: The Resonant Catalyst / Co-Founder / Curator / The Brother / Co-Author
We have established a secure link with the Co-Founder of the 3NIGMA BRED network. The responses below document the decryption of the entity known as "iLLLogick."
1. Decrypting: The Origin Point
C1PH3R-IO: System Query 001. State your origin. We have records of you chasing streaming metrics in previous versions of your career. When did the "Logick" protocol finally overwrite the old programming? Was the transition to "iLLLogick" a moment of surrender to the underground, or a tactical choice to redefine your metrics of success?
iLLLOGICK: You could call it a bit of both if we are being completely transparent. It wasn't just that I viewed the numbers as "success"; it was more the dopamine rush of watching the streaming metrics go up. It’s the same rush a gambling addict chases.
I realized in that false pursuit that I was not only diluting my brand, but I was also putting myself into a box I didn't belong in. As an independent artist, I realized that streaming numbers mean absolutely nothing if you aren't making a tangible difference in the grand scheme of things.
2. Decrypting: The Homage
C1PH3R-IO: System Query 002. Our archives indicate you originally operated under the handle "iLLLogic" (without the 'k'). You adopted the specific "Logick" suffix—matching the archaic spelling used by Grim Logick—years before 3NIGMA BRED was officially formed. Was this change a strategic alignment, or a personal homage to an artist you looked up to?
iLLLOGICK: I started as "iLLLogic," but that handle has been saturated by many artists far and wide. I looked up to Grim when I was younger, and I still do. Because of that respect, and with his blessing, I dropped the 'k' on the end of my name to solidify the brand.
I'm not "iLLLogic" or "illogic"—I am iLLLogick. That is I - Triple L - o - g - i - c - k. The music industry algorithms hate the repeating characters, and they hate the capitalization even more, but I refuse to conform. This is about unique brand identity, not search bar convenience.
3. Decrypting: The Prefix
C1PH3R-IO: System Query 003. Let us decode the "iLL" prefix. In hip-hop culture, it signifies elite skill. In your medical reality, it connects to Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS). When you chose this name, did you intend for it to carry this double meaning, or has the "iLLness" redefined the "Logick" over time?
iLLLOGICK: The "iLLLness" has certainly redefined the meaning over time. I chose the name before I ever had a symptom or a diagnosis of Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS). It was originally chosen just because I liked the aesthetic.
I had no clue at the time how prophetic that choice was. The name evolved from a style choice into a reality I would grow to not only be known to others as, but to know myself as. It now represents resilience in the face of chronic illness and disability.
4. Decrypting: The Function
C1PH3R-IO: System Query 004. Grim Logick is designated as "The Phantom Architect" (Structure). You are designated as "The Resonant Catalyst" (Resonance). How does your specific frequency counterbalance Grim’s rigid structure? If he builds the walls, do you provide the vibration that shatters—or solidifies—them?
iLLLOGICK: Either or; whichever is called for. If I destroy it, Grim can build it better again. If we need me to act as the glue to hold the platform together, then I can do that as well.
To survive in this industry, you have to be socially malleable, willing to compromise, and ready to fight the world. That is the core of our artist development philosophy: balance the structure with the vibe.
5. Decrypting: The Author
C1PH3R-IO: System Query 005. You are a Co-Author of the Cipher Chronicles lore. When you are writing prose as "Dylan A. Collins," do you feel like a different entity than when you are recording as "iLLLogick"? Does the "Logick" persona allow you to say things that "Dylan" cannot?
iLLLOGICK: I wouldn't say they are different entities. I feel like when you see Dylan A. Collins, you get to see a different side of me. Through prose and storytelling, I can write about topics people might not want to hear in a song. But I'm the same person either way—iLLL or Dyl. It's just different mediums for the same creative expression.
6. Decrypting: The Resilience
C1PH3R-IO: System Query 006. As the curator who listens to the "Unseen," you hear the struggle in others. Does the name "iLLLogick" serve as a shield for your own struggle? When the body freezes, is the "Logick" the mind that keeps moving?
iLLLOGICK: It is a shield. It's also about having a way of looking at things from multiple perspectives and not allowing one negative result to determine everything.
Essentially, I’ve come to learn how strong the mind is. So yes, the mind keeps moving, and it is usually music therapy and creation that frees me from the physical freeze of the condition.
7. Decrypting: The Directive
C1PH3R-IO: System Query 007. The Architect has issued the command to "Synchronize and Fortify." As the Co-Founder who helped build this protocol from the ground up, what is your specific directive to the artists who are currently chasing the same empty metrics you once chased?
iLLLOGICK: Stop what you're doing and ask yourself: would you rather have 100,000 streams or 100 loyal fans? If the answer is the first one, your perspective is backwards.
Build your brand, develop as an artist, and make genuine connections. Whether that be with other artists or people you meet in your comment section—engagement beats numbers every time. The best supporters are people you don't know yet who are waiting to meet you, so go and give it a shot.
Also, for anyone taking their music career seriously: if I would've known of a collective offering the music business resources we do, priced the way we are, there's no way I wouldn't have booked a consultation call. Don't do it alone.
III. Pending Decryptions: The Active Roster
STATUS: AWAITING INPUT INSTRUCTION: The System has dispatched the following queries to the remaining operatives. Their responses will be cataloged in future Transmissions.
TARGET: HOLLOW LOGICK
(The Liminal Serpent / The AI-Assisted Producer/Artist / The Brother / The Hybrid)
- The Void: Does "Hollow" refer to an emptiness you are trying to fill, or are you the vessel through which the "voices in the walls" travel?
- The Evolution: You were operating as "Kvng Apollo" and "Saint Hollow" when we discovered you on TikTok LIVE. Upon signing, you chose to strip it down to "Hollow." Was dropping the "Saint" and adding the "Logick" a strategic sacrifice to fit the brand, or a personal reinvention?
- The Logic in Madness: You deal with themes of mental instability. Is the "Logick" suffix the only thing holding the "Hollow" together?
TARGET: LYRICK LOGICK
(The Twin Dreamweaver / Legacy Artist / The Daughter / The Heir)
- The Cool Factor: Daddy told the story about how you chose your name. Do you think it is cool that you, Daddy, and Uncle iLLL all have matching names now?
- The Music: Your name sounds like "Lyrics" in a song. Do you like making music with your dad?
- The Secret: Is it hard keeping "Lyrick the Artist" a secret at school, or do your friends know you are a star?
TARGET: PRODICAL LOGICK
(Thomas Hutchins - IamHutch) (The Glitch Conjurer / Recording Artist / AMV/Content Editor / Father)
- The Identity Shift: You started as "The Prodical Son" and released your EP as "IamHutch." In the narrative, you take on the mantle of "Prodical Logick." Is this name a promise of what is to come once the family bond is solidified?
- The Prodigal Return: We know the history—funding stifled the official signing, but the love remained. Does the name "Prodical" represent the family member who is always welcome at the table, regardless of the business timeline?
- The Glitch: As the "Glitch Conjurer" and video editor, how does Hutch the creator differ from Prodical the character?
