Chill Moody – My Offering (Video)
So this is our first hip-hop session. The first of many, we hope. It kind of came out of nowhere. We hadn’t planned on doing a session with Chill Moody, at all, yet when we put him on the spot, he & his producer Dilemma pulled through. They managed to put together a stripped down version of “My Offering” rather quickly & this is what came of one Thursday evening at Sigma Sound Studios. Enjoy. – Out-Of-Town Films

Dee-1: They Will Hear Me Now
Interview by Andreas Hale. Shot/edited by Shake.
Continuing 2DBZ & TheWellVersed’s exclusive conversations from SXSW, we chopped it up with Dee-1 approximately making the transition from teaching middle school to becoming a full-fledged artist, being nominated for the XXL Freshmen cover, how it’s deeper than music & his hopes to inspire people to better themselves (“It’s approximately if I die tomorrow making sure that whatever I did while I was here motivated & inspired somebody, hopefully millions”).
The last year really changed my life. I was teaching middle school & for me to step away from that (and) to the point where I wanted to do this yet (wondered) could I survive & then see what happened in the last year, getting compensated for all the shows, that’s love & progression. It let me know that I’m not Lil Wayne yet I’m no slouch either.
