AWUT keeps G-Funk alive with ‘CHILLERO’T SWABE’
The production leans into Funk-driven swing, lush keys, rubbery bass & crisp drums that demand the body to groove
Every now and then, a song teleports listeners straight from 2025 back to the 1990s. AWUT’s latest single, ‘CHILLERO’T SWABE,’ does exactly that by being a playful, Sun-soaked homage to West Coast Hip Hop’s Golden Era.
From the first bounce of the bassline, it’s clear where the inspiration lies. Think the glossy G-Funk of 2Pac’s ‘California Love’ colliding with the effortless cool of Dr. Dre’s ‘Nothin’ But a G Thang.’ What makes the track pop isn’t just the nostalgia, but how comfortably AWUT settles into the vibe. His laid-back delivery is smooth and nonchalant, carrying that same sly Snoop Dogg charisma that is never rushed and naturally groovy on the beat.
The production leans into Funk-driven swing, lush keys, rubbery bass, and crisp drums that demand the body to groove. It’s a sound built for cruising, but it arrives right on time for the cooler season in the Philippines, perfect for laid-back nights and weekend gatherings. At its core, ‘CHILLERO’T SWABE’ is a reminder of why West Coast Hip Hop is fun, infectious, and effortlessly cool.
The music video doubles down on the tribute. AWUT and his crew step out in full 1990s West Coast gear, posted up against beach scenes and suburban backdrops.
