Ahh, we all saw this coming. Alright maybe not all of us, but we knew it was in the works. When we asked Chiddy when the album was dropping a couple weeks ago, he smirked and said he didn’t know. Apparently they’re working out the final kinks, and while it was originally supposed to come out this August, it’s been pushed back to early next year. To hold the die-hard fans over, they’re releasing a “mini-album” in October. Hit the description from PMA below for more details. “Chiddy Bang’s debut album, The Swelly Life has officially been pushed back to … Continue reading →

Big Sean just dropped his most recent mixtape today, titled Finally Famous Vol. 3… it features tons of big names, from Drake to Mike Posner. I haven’t made it through the whole thing yet, but I hit this track first (due to the Chiddy Bang feature) and was immediately into it. Xaphoon stirs up a ridiculous beat as always, and Chiddy jumps on the track to add some of his flair. Definitely worth picking up, and download the mixtape in it’s entirety below.

This past Monday night was a hell of an experience. Jimbo and I got to shoot the shit a little bit with Chiddy Bang and XV at Karmaloop on Newbury St. before we went over to their concert at Harper’s Ferry in Boston…which was beyond awesome. It’s always a plus when the guys behind your favorite music of the moment are actually humble, appreciative people. They’re just a couple of bros that are riding out the momentum they’ve built for themselves. (Hit the read more button for the rest of the story and exclusive footage)

Here’s a little track that has a completely different vibe than anything else you’re listening to at the moment. Kelis (everybody remembers her from “Milkshake” fame) teams up with Chiddy Bang to add a little flair to her jam “Acapella”. A straight 80′s groove right here, featuring cow bell and a catchy base line. Chiddy’s not featured for long, but the track itself is worth checking out. Hit the download below.

Here’s a sneak peak of an upcoming Chiddy Bang track, “Hero”, which is supposed to be off their debut album, The Swelly Life (currently set to drop September 14th). A couple things here. First and foremost, I want to know what the hell happened to Xaphoon’s front tooth. The dude is completely unphased that his front tooth is absent…but you don’t just lose your front tooth without a story. Secondly, I desperately want that beat machine that he’s got on his iPhone; it just looks like the greatest toy of all time. Third, Chiddy is just an absolute monster at … Continue reading →

Remembering where the hype began is one of my all time favorite games to play. Looking back at a particular artist’s musical career, and remembering what their music was like in the pre-superstar era is semi-refreshing.  For example, I toss on Kanye’s “We Don’t Care” or “Family Business” from The College Dropout, and I remember being in my ’95 green Ford Explorer after first popping in his CD.  It’s just cool to bring back that “Ohhh shiiiiiiit” moment I had when my ears were first exposed to his new style.  Now everybody in the world is sick of his antics … Continue reading →

According to h.e.r. Chiddy Bang’s debut album, Opposite of Adults will be out on August 24th.

I’ve decided to spice up the way we do business around here by adding a little “Best of the Month” feature.  This is for all of the amateurs who don’t check the site on a daily basis, and want a quick breakdown of the top tracks of the past few weeks.  Thus, I have created a method with which you can cherry pick my favorite tracks of the month by simply viewing one post.  Mind boggling right? I’ve included a mixed and mastered continuous stream of the top tracks of the month, just in case you wanted to fluidly listen … Continue reading →

Never heard of this bro before, but I saw the track featured Chiddy (from Chiddy Bang) so I decided to give it a shot.  They both go in over a creative, addicting, unrecognized sample that’s been blaring consistently on my end.  Or, again, maybe it’s just my Dre’s talking. Speaking of Dre, some of you may have heard that the first single from the long awaited Detox dropped today, featuring Jay-Z.  Apparently called “Under Pressure”, I heard it, and refuse to believe that garbage is the first single from an album he’s been working on for like 7 years.  It’s … Continue reading →

I was just on my Sunday morning/afternoon run to Dunkie’s for a nice sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, when something hit me.  I hopped in my Chevy Malibu, and Chiddy Bang’s “The Opposite of Adults (Kids)” was blasting out of my car’s speakers.  I didn’t think twice about it at first, as this scenario has been a common occurrence for months now.  Jump in the car, throw some Chiddy Bang on the iPod, and go to Dunkin’ Donuts…it’s been nearly routine.  But then I looked down and saw that my iPod wasn’t connected; in fact it wasn’t even in … Continue reading →
