Needed Change

So it's been a while since I posted some hip-hop, let's dive into it cause I have to leave for work so here we go! A nice mix of rhymes and beats, with some dubstep for flavoring!

Chiddy Bang is a duo that met at College that are some talented musicans. Xapoon Jones does the beats and mixing, as well as the production while Chiddy handles the flowing vocals. The self proclaimed Kings of the Basement Party they have a unique style of melding some deadly verses with everything from indie rock to French electro, they've turned some pretty big heads,getting signed to EMI and getting a debut album, coming out sometime in 2011, as well as opening for British superstar Tinie Tempah. As a final nice touch, Chiddy broke the world record for longest freestyle, going hard for over 9 hours. Respect.

Big Sean is featured on this track, and we've talked about him before so you should check him out. His album is coming out in like 8 days, Finally Famous, will for sure make a pretty big splash with the blog and underground scenes, if not getting some mainstream air-wave play. Captured By Kings, real name Connor Walden, is an 18 year old producer from the sunny state of California, and he provides the dupstep portion of this track, and does a pretty good job. I would have preferred a bit harder of a bass, but he does a good job of keeping the song's soul in tact while still giving it his own twist and flavor.

So there you have it, genres I've been neglecting lately, and I'll try not to anymore. Have a good Monday morning, I'm out!


Too Fake(Captured By Kinds Dub Remix)-Big Sean and Chiddy Bang

F.Y.I.F! Vol.3

So today we have 2AM Club, the electro-rock/made-up-genre band hailing from Mill Valley Cali. Not really a banging place but hey, whatever spawns good music. Although, actually it's the remix that makes me love this song. Even further confusing the genre of this song. Which,while bothering my OCD part,making fun time for my ears!

Right, so remix is done by half of Chiddy Bang, another odd genre'd hip-hop-ish group from PA. Xaphoon Jones is actually Noah Berisin. They're story makes me love blogs, through them, Chiddy Bang got a record deal with EMI due to an online following. It makes me smile. Then, they left EMI, cause the man is bad or something. That's always what I get out of "creative differences". Butttt they still released this song which is good cause it's pretty much a party anthem.

Listen to the words, they don't require much thought, but that's the beauty of it, it's still enjoyable. And the washing X's off hands is something most people have experienced, yes, even me. But, to the song...again, the thumping bass, upbeat melody and lyrics you can sing along to without any kind of pitch makes it great to listen to when the mood is right. And if not, always good for summer driving. So enjoy the night and I'm out!
