Despite their usual cool demeanor, Chiddy Bang probably woke up this morning with butterflies in their stomachs for the first time in a while.

“She’s the leader of my fan club, so I show her damn love/ It don’t even matter if she with you, she’ll always show her man love”

Despite Chiddy Bang not mentioning Philadelphia by name, both the lyrics and new video to “By Your Side” sure seem dedicated to the City Of Brotherly Love. Comprised of footage most Philly fanatics will recognize immediately and derived from a lifelong bond to their hard-nosed hometown, the swelly duo has preemptively let go of this would-be addition to their upcoming debut album Read the rest of this entry »

After watching the video for Chiddy Bang’s “Ray Charles,” I’d say it’s a safe bet to assume Universal Records is finally behind a single for their duo’s Breakfast debut. Chock full of Blues Brothers anecdotes, Fresh Prince backdrops and Chiddy’s spot-on impersonation of their blind idol Read the rest of this entry »

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t I writing about Chiddy Bang’s lead single from their debut LP, Breakfast, back in June? And, if I recall, wasn’t it named “Mind Your Manners”? Read the rest of this entry »

Why do I have a feeling this is going to be a tough sell? While artists like Lupe, Wiz and Big Sean get slammed for lacing their supposed singles with pop-tendencies, Chiddy Bang has finally dropped one of their own and the result is clearly catered for Clear Channel. Read the rest of this entry »

An arduous grind, numerous mixtape releases, a BET cypher and G.O.O.D. Music over everything is what lead Sean Anderson to this point where he can kick his feet up and enjoy the fruits of his labor with his debut studio effort, Finally Famous: The Album. Read the rest of this entry »

These days, the game leaves young artists continually testing the waters. No longer can two hitmen like Chiddy Bang just drop a debut album on a whim. Regardless of their MTV awards, eight-figure YouTube play-counts and electric-bill-consistency, these gents are left strategically dropping epic freebies like a leaky faucet.

In the annals of Hip-Hop lore, count Chiddy as the owner of world’s longest freestyle. The lyrical half of Chiddy Bang might not be the first long-winded MC considered for the title, but MTV has the proof of his marathon from yesterday’s O Music Awards. Starting acapella and then joining partner-in-crime, Xaphoon Jones, on stage, Guinness recognized the 9 hour, 16 minutes and 22 seconds set as the world’s longest. Read the rest of this entry »

The median age of everyone involved with “Heatwave” might not legally be allowed to drink, but that doesn’t prevent Chiddy Bang and Mac Miller from looping ’70s soul samples into the thumping beat. The Pennsylvania threesome’s out-of-nowhere drop sees Xaphoon craft a beat that would make a College Dropout-era Kanye West proud. Read the rest of this entry »

Get a b*tch pregnant? Wrong/I don’t even trust myself, I walk into the hotel with the rubber on… – Lloyd Banks

You take a chance going out on a date with a person you don’t know. You take a chance riding on “E” before the gas light comes on. You take a chance flipping the channel during a big game hoping you don’t miss a key play. One thing you should not take chances with, however, is the “baby roulette.” Read the rest of this entry »

The Big Sean vehicle is rapidly starting to kick into a frenzied, warp speed, gaining momentum and attention as it shoots out of the fanboy crust and into the mainstream music stratosphere. To provide evidence of this torrid trajectory, Scoremore documents what happens when you give the collegiate masses of Austin, Texas, a free show with the D-Town MC and Chiddy Bang’s Xaphoon Jones. Granted the show was free and presenting students with “free” anything produces much the same effect as waving an old steak in front of a wild pack of dogs, Read the rest of this entry »

As the leaves get darker and the temperature continues to drop I’m constantly looking for something to latch onto that reminds me of Summer. I’ve found my fix for the week in the form of Chiddy Bang’s remix of The Knocks’ “Dancing With The DJ.” Read the rest of this entry »

I’d just like to say Chiddy Bang is officially not f*cking around. They’ve recently unveiled their first official release, Chiddy Bang: The Preview, and done tracks with Pharrell and now, Q-Tip. The latter is the seat-belt-buckling “Here We Go,” an obnoxiously big record that stands out like a puddle in the pouring rain Read the rest of this entry »

“I came a long way from when I wasn’t so fly, Did music like Kweli, just to get by.”

Devin, Beware and I have a weekly conversation about what it will take for Chiddy Bang to catch on with listeners. Not with larger audiences, because they seem to have latched on to the two-man team’s music and continually crowd in to see their performances. Read the rest of this entry »
