Q&A With NYC’s Rising Hip Hop Group The Chillionaires
Wow. The Chillionaires! We really enjoyed your latest mixtape “Who Wants To Be A Chillionaire” , we can totally hear the organic and original sound your guys have! Introduce us to the gang? Who are the members on the group? How long have you guys been a group? What area code(s) do you fellas rep!?
The Chillionaires are Gucci Gray, Ruciano, $ky $craper, We been a group since 2013. We rep the 718
You guys really embrace the east-coast rugged underground Hip Hop sound!! Such a breath in fresh air to be honest!!! We also notice lyricism is key to your guys moment and brand!! How important is for you guys to maintain dope lyrics, wordplay and most importantly ORIGINALITY??
It’s important to maintain dope lyrics because we was raised on lyricism, punch lines, storytelling, and delivery. Back then you couldn’t find 2 rappers who sounded the same, or rapped the same..Grew up in an era where you had to be nice have your style, try to be relatable a say the dopest shyt
Lets face it, social media since 2015 has grown tremendously, especially IG!!! Tell us how is your guys IG grind, and how have you guys been able to keep up with the high demand on social media? Who runs your guys social media accounts?
We just try to stay consistent.. we run our own individuals accounts and the collective chillionaire one
Can some please breakdown the new mixtape “Who Wants To Be A Chillionaire”? In your guys opinion, how does this mixtape compare the current Hip Hop that is out from your area? What makes this project different!?
WWTBAC is a project that has the new sound and a couple splashes of the old sound mixed in, the while album front to back is packed up with bars, different flows, real rap, animation, and gives off a relatable feel in the aspect of all of us wanting to be rich wealthy people, to be in a better situation than now, to want to live free…and it’s a bunch of good sounding songs, we didn’t highlight violence, gang activity, we don’t have any malicious rhymes with ill intent, so its a pretty even album, I think thats what makes it different. Good vibes, turn up, laid back with bars
As a group, what track is your standout track on the mixtape? Mr. Fly Guy in our opinion is the one that goes HARD HAS FUX on this mixtape!!…LOL
