If you don’t know Chill Moody, now’s the time to get familiar.

The Philadelphia native is not only a note-worthy figure in the music industry, but is also a well-respected person in his community, who doesn’t plan on going anywhere else anytime soon. He was destined to be an entertainer from birth and prides himself on paving the way for up and comers.

Don’t let his name or laid back demeanor fool you because when he touches the mic, there’s nothing “chill” about him. After ripping the Sway in the Morning stage at SXSW, among other headlining performances this year, the sky’s the limit for this hip-hop entrepreneur.

We recently sat down with the talented artist to talk about growing up in Philly, his new beer that he brewed himself, who he gets inspiration from, what’s next, and much more.
