Belgium-based Chillowproductions & DJ Grazzhoppa team up with New Jersey-based emcee Venomous2000 on their new track/visual FLY EGO
What do you get when two esteemed Belgian producers/DJs collaborate with their favorite New York/New Jersey emcees? You get a bullseye.
The long-awaited release of the international album ‘Moving Targets’ by Chillowproductions & DJ Grazzhoppa is in sight. ‘Moving Targets’ pretty much speaks for itself. For the ‘Fly Ego‘ single, the duo set their scope on New Jersey rapper Venomous2000.
The duo has known each other since 2017 when DJ Grazzhoppa worked out some of the scratching hooks on the music of Chillow. The vibe and dynamic were set there. After spending some time in the studio, it seemed obvious they had to work out more music together due to their similar and matching style.
Both knew a bunch of rap veterans from New York/New Jersey that got excited. Doing a project like this over the internet was a ‘No Go’ due to Chillow, his principle:
“No studio time together = No music together”.
So the duo created a stock of music and demos in Belgium for the go. With barely 800 euros in his bank account, Chillow decided to travel to New York and stayed there for three months.
When the money ran out, he had to come up with an idea to get some bread. Through his social media, he offered budget photography and videography for New York rappers. A lot of his friends and rappers offered him a place to stay. In this way, he could continue the journey in search of interested artists.
When he returned to Belgium, the duo finished the production and mix together. They teamed up with graphic designer/record collector Tom De Geeter (Crate Records Kortrijk) for the ‘artwork’ and with DVL, photographer, and member of Afterhours. Both are Hip Hop fanatics. Everything seemed to work out smoothly, all pieces fell right into place. It just took a while to finance the entire project.
