Following a steady stream of 2020 releases from the multi-platinum genre blending music trio Cheat Codes, today they have released "No Chill" ft. rising rapper and TikTok sensation Lil XXEL (2.5M followers). Their newest track of similar brilliance, "No Chill" is the fifth single off of Hellraisers Pt. 1, the first part of the group's upcoming three-part debut album. Embodying their upbeat, contemporary pop flow, the track is layered with a touch of trap and a guitar riff that plays perfectly into the catchy vocals from rising hip-hop artist Lil XXEL. Reminding listeners of the chase for excitement, Cheat Codes says of their newest single "This song is about a relationship that is just too much to handle, high maintenance if you will...the kind of relationship that makes you question if it's worth it or not." The track is a must listen for electro-pop fans who love a high beat production with fun vocals, and the accompanying music video has Cheat Codes, Lil XXEL and those watching in for quite a surprise ending.
