The Chuckness

Chiddy Bang just dropped their newest mixtape, Air Swell, and as usual, it delivers.  Several of the tracks had previously leaked, so unfortunately it’s only got three or four fresh ones that are new to our ears.  Nevertheless, their new jams instantly have taken over my iTunes, and they have me beyond excited for their debut album.  Xaphoon Jones is undoubtedly one of the most talented producers out there, and Chiddy’s flow has gotten consistently better.  They’ve taken the blogosphere by storm, and with their debut album, this duo will officially take over the music industry.  Check out one of … Continue reading →

I came across this track the other day from a YouTube video that featured Chiddy from Chiddy Bang freestyling over this beat.  I had to find the original track, and found that it comes from a relatively unknown (here in the states) London-rapper named Tinie Tempah.  I know nothing about him, but the track is dope.  Enjoy… [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: Tinie Tempah- Pass Out Here is the video that put me on to this song: Tweet

The legend behind Chiddy Bang,Xaphoon Jones, is on the scene again with his wild remixes. Here he takes Birdman, Drake & Lil Wayne’s horrendously popular “Money To Blow” and ices it out. As Tow said previously, prepare yourself for Chiddy Bang’s upcoming EP, which drops later this month. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: Money To Blow (Xaphoon Jones Remix) Tweet

This video was put together by the record label that Chiddy Bang recently signed to in order to promote their EP titled The Opposite of Adults that is set to drop on February 22nd. The label they signed to is a UK based company called Parlophone, who also works/worked with The Beatles, Coldplay, Radiohead, Gorillaz, and many more.   Definitely seems like a good label for the duo out of Philly to be apart of. Here is a track from Chiddy that I heard on their website a little while ago but they just recently posted a download link.  Plus it … Continue reading →

A couple months ago, Xaphoon Jones of Chiddy Bang (who we’re talking about a lot lately) released The Xaphoon Jones Mixtape Vol 1, an independent effort.  It’s filled with both creative mashups and original material…and in case you let it slip by, here are two standout tracks that brilliantly blend together entirely different songs.  There’s no way in hell Radiohead’s “Reckoner” and Kanye’s “Touch the Sky” should have anything to do with each other, yet Xaphoon seamlessly fuses the two into one.  The production throughout the whole mixtape is outrageous… download it in it’s entirety HERE.
