Chillin Island's first episode is set to premiere later this week, and the first episode will see Despot (Alec Reinstein), Dap (Ashok Kondabolu) and Lakutis (Aleksey Weintraub) with Young Thug.

According to the description on the series trailer, the show is a "contemplative and offbeat series about communing with nature, each-other and ourselves."
