***CHILL is an artist and rapper who grew up in the St. Bernard Projects of New Orleans' 7th ward. This album is the product of a 10 years long friendship that CHILL and musician / inventor QUINTRON struck up when CHILL was displaced to New Orleans upper 9th ward after Hurricane Katrina. CHILL, who is blind, is escorted daily by his nephew to a St. Claude Avenue food and liquor store called Korner Market #2 (aka "Hot Fod"), just down the street from Quintron's Spellcaster Lodge studio. Take It From The Bind Side is CHILL's first recording. After two or three failed sessions, a winning formula was discovered. At CHILL's request, all vocals were done acapella in two days and then the production was built around his flowing vocal cadences for the next three solid months with co-producer BENNY DIVINE (Natural Child, Wizzard Sleeve, Gary Wrong, King Louie, etc). The production sound is totally inspired by classic early '90s MPC driven New Orleans gansta rap, the era and lifestyle that CHILL came up in. This guy is the real deal. Nuf said. Check it out.
