Filmmakers and artists Kenny Young, Vernon “Xtreme” Brown and Phil James noticed most TV shows don’t accurately depict the Chicago they knew and loved. So they decided to fix it. Their new show on WEtv, “Kold x Windy,” explores the relationship between two drill star best friends on the South Side. According to Young, “even if you’ve never been to Chicago or the South Side in your life, you can still watch the show and take something away from it.”
