Phill Most Chill

Phill Most Chill (aka Soulman World of Beats) has been referred to as a “Hip-Hop renaissance man” for his work in various different areas- emcee/rapper, producer, mixtape deejay, magazine writer, artist and record collector/dealer. The thing that connects all of Phill’s endeavors is a love for Hip Hop culture and music, which dates back to the late 1970’s and the early Hip-Hop parties that he attended. Based in Philadelphia (but raised in Connecticut not far from the Bronx NY), Phill continues making music and art to this day, trying to live up to his self proclaimed title as a “torchbearer of traditional Hip Hop” with a goal to always make something new and fresh but never forget where it all comes from.
