CHILLINIT is, without question, the most exciting new hip-hop artist in Australia, one of the most revered new rappers in the Southern Hemisphere and an emerging cult figure to his legion of dedicated fans, the 420 Family. A product of a vibrant, multicultural Australia: Chillinit is a brash, cricket-loving, Lebanese kid from South West Sydney, on the verge of stardom by simply being himself, on a mission to bring Australian rap culture to the world.
Building a devoted following from scratch thanks to his must-follow Instagram page, millions of YouTube views on his fiery viral videos Underrated and One Breath One Take and a recent blockbuster collaboration with Gatorbueg which sold out in a matter of hours, Chillinit has forced his way to the forefront of the new guard of Australian rap.
After releasing music strictly through Instagram and YouTube throughout 2018, October brought Chillinit's independently released debut album, Women, Weed & Wordplay, to streaming services for the first time. The album peaked at #2 on Apple Music and iTunes Overall Album Charts during the week of release, and within a month has racked up a staggering five million streams and counting.
Now, to celebrate the release of Women, Weed & Wordplay, Chillinit and 420 Family announce The Ashes National Tour, his first ever headline national run, supported by his opening batting partner, the enigma, Wombat. Kicking off in March with the 18+ First Innings, followed by an Under 18’s Second Innings during the Easter School Holidays and culminating on the most sacred of dates, April 20th, 4/20!
