Joseph Chilliams • "Powerpuff"
Perhaps nothing is more fitting for Joseph Chilliam’s playful rap style than an intro featuring audio from a cartoon that first aired in the last millennium. Taking an assist from Townsville’s most famous residents, Chilliams’ newest single, released ahead of his upcoming debut project Henry Church, is a sub-3-minute window into the PIVOTgang rapper’s inner monologue.
Rapping over an old-school minimalistic beat, Chilliams presents his signature blend of humor with aggression, keeping the track comedic while maintaining its intensity. He spews confidence while sprinkling in self-deprecation, finding a balance that so few are able to achieve.
Chilliams’ star is bright, and if this single is any indication, his debut project will only add fuel to his fire.
