Chill Moody cemented his status as one of the top lyricists & performers to hit Philadelphia in years when he won “Best Rapper” in Philadelphia Magazine’s annual Best of Philly issue. Known for his dynamic live performances, Moody has performed on all the areas’ best stages, including Wawa Welcome America, the Roots Picnic, the Kimmel Center, The Fillmore & he has had multiple sold-out shows at the TLA, The Trocadero and Hard Rock Café. Moody was rightfully named Philadelphia’s official Music Ambassadors due to his tireless efforts to "put the city on" as well as his local & national accomplishments over the years: radio play, music videos on MTV Jams, two albums that debuted on the iTunes Top 100 hip-hop charts, & performances at A3C Hip-Hop Conference (2013; 2015), in Los Angeles during Grammy Week (2014; 2015) and South by Southwest (SXSW) (2014; 2015; 2016).

#BeforeITakeOff
So i'm headed down to perform at South by South West (SXSW) tomorrow and decided I wanted to drop something special for #MoodyMonday. One of my favorite producers, Jake One, just dropped an instrumental album called "Prayer Hands Emoji", and the beats are all dope. I decided to rhyme over a couple of them and release a short EP i'm calling "Before I Take Off". I wrote and recorded this whole jawn in one day, my youngbul BNJMIIN engineered, the homie Modesty came through and blessed a track, [FxM] Designs came through in the clutch with the artwork, and now we are presenting it to you. We hope you enjoy.

Look out for more content from Chill Moody every Monday in 2016 as part of the #MoodyMonday series.

The hustle of a rapper ebbs and flows, a roller coaster of experiences that takes the artist from one place to another. Chill Moody, one of Philadelphia's hardest working rappers, knows this experience well. Every Monday is "Moody Monday", a day Chill drops new content, if that gives you a sense of his prolific nature. We captured the essence of a rapper being schooled by life as well as schooling college students looking for insight into the game.
