Morphology

chillin' = chill (transparent) = chill + ing

Colloquial spelling 'chillin'' is a phonetic variant of 'chilling' (chill + -ing), and the meaning 'relax' is directly derived from the verb 'chill'.

Chillin' is the relaxed slang form of chill, a word that first meant 'cold' and later was used as chill out to mean 'calm down'. So chillin' is a cool way to say you are 'relaxed' or just 'hanging out' in an easy way.
