This 18-track narrative project is an exploration of survival, moral conflict, and the search for "medicine" in an unforgiving landscape.

​

Narrative Arc:

The story follows MC SLIP's attempt to survive in an environment where legitimate paths don't provide for basic needs. The plot includes the tragic murder of a friend and the incarceration of several close associates.

​

The Two Protagonists:

The narrative is anchored by SLIP's complex involvement with two women, identified as Bish 1 and Bish 2, who play pivotal roles in the unfolding drama.

​

Structural Allegory: The album uses a sophisticated dual-layered structure:

​

7 Days of the Week:

Seven specific tracks represent each day from Monday to Sunday.

​

7 Deadly Sins:

Each of these daily tracks simultaneously represents one of the seven deadly sins, mapping a moral descent or struggle onto the passage of time.

​

Alternative Ending:

The album contains a hidden track. If discovered by the listener, it provides an alternative ending that fundamentally changes the meaning of the final track and the resolution of the entire story.

​

Title Philosophy:

The phrase "Whatever Chills The Illin'" is an homage to lyrics from The New Power Generation's track "The Good Life". It represents the necessity of finding your own "medicine"— whether it be an escape, a drug of choice, or a passion—to soothe the "sickness" (the "illin'") of a harsh reality.
