ChumZilla

ChumZilla is a Connecticut-based producer, DJ, and engineer best known for his work with underground hip-hop group Demigodz and collaborations with artists like Apathy. Hailing from New London, he gained early recognition for producing much of Apathy's 2006 debut "Eastern Philosophy" and continues to contribute to projects like Apathy's 2018 album "The Widow's Son," where he handled scratches and co-production. Recent releases like "Mary Ellen," "The Seven Piece," and multiple instrumental collections showcase his ongoing beat-making output through platforms like Bandcamp and his personal website, maintaining a steady stream of gritty, sample-driven hip-hop productions.

While specific biographical details remain limited, his decades-long presence in the underground scene solidifies his status as a go-to collaborator for East Coast hip-hop artists. Recent social media activity suggests new material dropping in October 2024, including an unspecified project with JusOne Teamhomi.
