The Chuckness

MOOMBAHTON. That’s what all the kids are talking about these days. Think electro slowed down to the pace of reggaeton, combined with some dance-infused bass. Or something like that. EB dominates the moombahton scene at UHall in DC, and tried to explain to me last October that I had to get involved immediately. Fast-forward to today, and this right here is the perfect introduction to the genre for those that don’t want to dive into the heavy stuff right away. Skeet Skeet’s got a pretty serious remix resume under his belt, and he flips Chiddy Bang’s latest single on it’s … Continue reading →

Continuing to play catch-up here. Chiddy Bang’s official visuals for the first single off of Breakfast hit the internet machine the other day. It’s kind of bizarre/awesome to see they have a major label budget for music videos now. Breakfast is due out 2/28. Tweet

  Been a while since we’ve heard anything new from the Chiddy Bang camp. Rolling Stone just premiered the first cut off of their debut album Breakfast, which was inspired by the late Ray Charles. I think? Or just Chiddy’s incredibly high brother. “The song actually started out as a joke when my brother, Cheeseburger Don, got so high he fell asleep in the studio with his sunglasses on,” says Chiddy Bang. “I looked over and he reminded me of Ray Charles, probably because I was high, too. I started freestyling about him and we laid it down right there.” Breakfast … Continue reading →

Here are some unofficial visuals for Chiddy Bang’s “Mind Your Manners”. Watch Xaphoon, Chiddy and some of their bros from Southern California dick around at a skate park and do wild shit with a ping pong ball. Tweet

Xaphoon and Chiddy show off their hometown and affinity for breakfast in their most recent music video. Debut album, conveniently titled Breakfast, should be coming soon. In the meantime, pick up their single “Mind Your Manners” from iTunes. Tweet

Just as we were all promised over the various social networks that we frequent these days, here we have some fresh material off of Chiddy Bang’s debut album, Breakfast. I’m really feeling this one, the combination of Chidera’s verses and Xaphoon’s production always flows well together. It’s refreshing to hear Xaphoon’s sound have a little growth to it from what we have grown accustomed to hearing on the mixtapes.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed all of Chiddy Bang’s mixtapes up to this point, it’s just that Xaphoon has a pretty distinct, similar style.  This just sounds like a grown-up, … Continue reading →

Chiddy Bang previewed a brand new song during their set at Bonnaroo.  Although it is pretty difficult to hear the song through all the screams and the sound quality is a little low, you can get a good feel for it. Tweet

Boom. The Philly duo just released their latest mixtape, Peanut Butter And Swelly, filled with new material to tide us over until the full album release — hopefully coming later in 2011.

After a weekend with the tape, here are a couple highlights: [Audio clip: view full post to listen] [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Tweet

Another track off Chiddy Bang’s upcoming mixtape Peanut Butter And Swelly, dropping Friday over at illRoots. As always, Xaphoon is on the beat, and Chidera goes off on being the newly crowned Guinness record holder for longest continuous freestyle of all time. Not my favorite from them, but it’ll hold me over until Friday’s mixtape release. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: Chiddy Bang – Guinness Flow Tweet

If you’ve come across the most recent Taco Bell commercial, you may/may not have noticed Chiddy Bang’s “The Good Life” blaring in the background. As a part of the Taco Bell “Feed The Beat” campaign, Xaphoon Jones has put together a remix of the track, which we have for you below. A nice alternative to the original. Add it to your library.
