His DJ is Chum the Skrilla Guerilla and he frequently collaborates with fellow Demigod Celph Titled, who often produces for him.

He released his debut album, Eastern Philosophy, in March 2006 on Babygrande Records. Most of his previous underground work has been collected on two albums: the two-disc It's the Bootleg, Muthafuckas! Vol. 1 and Where's Your Album?!!. Apathy released another collection of his most recent works, Baptism by Fire, in January 2007. He has also criticized the overuse of Auto Tuning by artists like Kanye West stating, "You ain't a computer, you ain't from the future, and you ain't got a tumor, so why you do to your voice, shit to make it sound stupider" and the first time he heard vocals like that was on a Cher album in the eighties."

"Derek Keith Barbosa (born April 8, 1971), known as Chino XL, is an American Hip Hop lyricist, battle rapper, and actor. He was born to a Puerto Rican father and an African mother. The nephew of Bernie Worrell of Parliament/Funkadelic, Chino is known for his technically accomplished style, consisting of self-consciously over-the-top punchlines, exaggerated egotism, and use of multiple similes, puns, metaphors, and wordplay. He is a member of the intellectual collective MENSA and has collaborated on various projects with some of the most well known names in Hip Hop.[2]

Aside from music, Chino has also forged a career in acting, appearing in several films and making guest appearances on the Comedy Central series Reno 911! and the CBS series CSI: Miami[3]. He has starred in films alongside Kate Hudson, Luke Wilson, and Rob Reiner and had a solo project debut at Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival.[4]"
