Chilly Gonzales‘ orchestral rap album The Unspeakable Chilly Gonzales is out next week on Schmooze Records. Here is his new video also directed by by collaborator Jonathan Barre, the followup to this medley. What a joker. Orchestral arrangements are by his real life bro Christophe Beck. You can also hear Chilly tickling the ivories at the end of ‘Marvin’s Room’, the new Drake song.

The music’s cool. Pity he has to put vocals on it though. I would be nice to get instrumentals of this album…
