Chillin Island, the newest HBO series premiering December 17 on HBO Max and produced by Uncut Gems director Josh Safdie, will send Hip Hop’s biggest stars into the wilderness.
Rosalía, Young Thug, Gunna, Killer Mike, Coi Leray, Ski Mask the Slump God, Lil Yachty, and Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig will be the starts embarking in this adventure, based on the radio show hosted by Alec Reinstein (AKA Despot), Aleksey Weintraub (AKA Lakutis), and Ashok Kondabolu (AKA Dap of Das Racist).
“It was so easy and yet so deep. When Alec approached us to create a TV show with the vibe of their radio show, it only made sense to put them and their guests in the middle of nowhere and ask Steven Wright to be the voice of God.”
