🌱 Chillhop Essentials · Spring 2023 [chill lofi / instrumental hiphop beats]

With over 40 musicians across 28 tracks, Essentials Spring 2023 might be our most treasured one yet. Featuring a who's who of some of our favorite musicians in the community, we present a 2xLP to keep everyone vibrant and alive as the seasons change and days start to warm.

Essentials Spring 2023 features recent Chillhop beat tape alumni like El Train, Evil Needle, illiterate, and Mr. Slipz, while also showcasing songs from familiars like Oatmello, SwuM, Toonorth, Blue Wednesday, HM Surf, The Doppelgangaz, and dozens of others.

This album features over 70 minutes of chillhop, jazzhop, lofi hip-hop. Soulful beats, boom bap, old school. However you might like to classify this. It's all part of the same Chillhop vibe - a welcoming and comforting sign of the springtime to come. A new season is here. Drop the top on your new convertible (whether real or imagined) and jazz things up with this carefully curated compilation. Buy a boombox. Buy a roadmap. Pack the car and go.

Dear Chillhop,

Thank you for walking me through my sadness; thank you for calming me in frustration and anger; thank you for dancing with me in my joy; thank you for multiplying my happiness; thank you for reassuring me and opening my heart when stressed or scared; and finally, thank you for bringing me into a musical world that has truly changed my life for the better, forever. 💚

Yours Truly,
Zach

P.S. This Spring '23 mix is doooope!!!

Grateful to be part of an amazing compilation! 🙏

Can I just say, shoutout to Chillhop for having some amazing art and animation, AND for not using image generators for their work? It's actually sucked lately finding fun lofi channels and realizing their youtube art is AI-- 1) its sloppy and ugly and 2) haha that's work like mine that's been chewed on and spat out for the sake of "the aesthetic" -- especially since lots of illustrators and painters would totally love to do collabs with lofi channels! Nowadays I only watch/listen to lofi videos that use anime gifs, are from over 2 years ago, or are visibly original and have hours of care put into them, like what Magellan and Flo have done for Chillhop.

THAT INTRO! Is everything! And that first track 'Over You' SLAPS!
Shout out to El Train and Paal Singh for that one! 🔥

So many key things are happening for me in Spring. I will complete my teachers training in June. I will be listening to this album daily to get me through my final term. No doubt it will become very special to me 🙏🏾thank you chillhop ❤

[blumtnpaj]

The beautiful change from daytime to sunset in the graphics was SO SUBTLE that I had to replay it multiple times to notice when it happened. Love all the tracks on this massive comp

[kaitshipp]

Absolutely perfect, as always! Graduating from college in May and Chillhop has been with me since day one. All of those long nights of studying, endless hours of assignments, papers, study guides, pre and post labs, I can finally see the finish line. You are currently joining me in Clinical Competencies. Heading to my last clinical rotation on Monday. We're almost done!

[Blurredlofi]

Another Spring Essentials Instant Classic 💕

[YoungBoyHazard]

The visuals only gets better and better!
