Pivot Gang’s individual members have been prominent members of Chicago’s music scene for what feels like forever. From with Saba’s increasingly acclaimed run of projects, to Joseph Chilliams gaining attention as one of the most original voices in hip-hop, to Mfn Melo entertaining beyond the music in an amazing series of cooking videos, to Squeak…
The legend himself, Joseph Chilliams, celebrates Juneteenth 2018 by dropping a brand new four-song EP titled, The Plastics. I’m about halfway in now, and it’s already a big W. Win’s all around for the Pivot Gang prince. Soulful beats, with carefully crafted quips that run the gamut of subjects. And guess what? It’s still fuck…
Directed by Zoe Rain Yo! Today we get the first look from Joe’s Mean Girls-inspired EP The Plastics, due out very soon. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the Pivot Gang prince continuously drops the best videos. Seriously, his work is always insanely creative and different than what everyone else is churning out. Any…
Photo by Aris Theotokatos. If anything, Joseph always comes with the most unique song titles in the business. That said, I’ll let him take the floor on this one: In his first new release since his debut full-length Henry Church, Joseph Chilliams celebrated the end of Black History Month last night with “Unfriendly Black Hotties,” produced…
Joseph Chilliams had a breakout 2017, and is starting out the new year strong with his clever Napoleon Dynamite-inspired video for “Fergie.” I do believe I’ve said it a few times here, but Joe arguably makes the best videos in Chicago, and he keeps that track record going strong with the hilarious “Fergie” clip.

Your new savior, Joseph Chilliams, blesses the world with his debut album, Henry Church. 13 new tracks from the Pivot Gang representative — and it’s an all-star affair: Saba, Noname, Supa Bwe, MfnMelo, Add-2, Jamila Woods and the late, great dinnerwithjohn all make appearances. There’s also a song called “How Not To Be…
Former FSD employee (Twitter inside joke!) Joseph Chilliams brings forth his latest drop from his forthcoming debut, Henry Church. This track is something serious, as it features Noname with an incredibly ferocious verse, as well Supa skating all over the track. Yeah, Joseph snapped with this one. Some superior wizardry on this track. I highly…
I’ve said before that Joseph Chilliams is the rapper that millennials have been waiting for–an MC with memorable bars and ridiculous dance moves that turn his live performances of any size into an intimate kickback with friends–and, while I stand by my statement that Joe is the rapper millennials have been waiting for, all of…
