Straight from the Press Release:
The notion of “traditional hip hop” has changed forever. Whether you’re talking about genre bending projects from superstars like Kanye and Lil Wayne or new artists like Kid Cudi, hip-hop has reached a tipping point and its followers are expanding their horizons. Chiddy Bang is a Philly based duo comprised of Chiddy (Proto,19, MC) and Xaphoon Jones (Noah, 19, DJ/producer) who combine elements of indie and electronica with some good ole fashioned “spitting”. The result has been described by some bloggers as a “hipsters wet dream”, but Chiddy Bang prefers to think of themselves as “kings of the basement party jam”.
And you know what? I completely agree with the way they have chosen to present themselves. Chiddy Bangs have the production value, flow and talent of big time hip/hop artists like Jay Z and Kanye while still maintaining an underground street vibe to their music. They have that “raw” factor that similar artists like Kid Cudi and Gym Class heroes don’t achieve. The EP “The Opposite of Adults” will be released Febuary 22nd. ****
