Chiddy Bang - The Opposite of Adults (KIDS)
Artist: Chiddy Bang
Featuring: MGMT
Producer: Xaphoon Jones
Album: Swelly Express Mixtape
Label: EMI
Once upon a time, we were all The Opposite of Adults – Booth newcomers Chiddy Bang and Xaphoon Jones still consider themselves KIDS and, to paraphrase that classic Toys ‘R’ Us jingle, they don’t wanna grow up anytime soon. Peter Pan syndrome or not, this Philly-based duo plan to parlay their musical talents into some grown-up cash, as they explain on this standout track off their just-released Swelly Express mixtape. Here, beatsmith Xaphoon chops a synth-driven sample from Kids, a track off Pursuit of Happiness indie-rockers’ MGMT‘s Oracular Spectacular LP, into a head-nodding backdrop for emcee Chiddy’s enthusiastically-flowed meditations on big money, fast living and eternal youth. With this kind of energy, it’s no surprise that Chiddy Bang have already sparked considerable industry attention. Whether you’re a kid, young at heart, or you simply enjoy left-of-center bangers, you’re sure to find more to your liking on The Swelly Express, released October 29, and available for free download here.

Real fresh. Had not heard of the fellas before last week, but now I am trying to find more of their music. This new mixtape is very very good. Don't sleep, open your ears!

First off, I'd like to nominate Chiddy Bang for the "highest looking picture in DJBooth history" award, but if that's what he's got to do to make music like this, then more power to him. Digging it, four stars.

Hahahaha, I second Nathan. This track grew on me as it played. Great chemistry between the production and Chiddy.
PS I like this "Total Ratings" counter. I know its been around for a a little while but good idea DJ Booth |

The title of this track immediatley grabbed my attention. as i listened to it it instantly got "in rotation" respect from me, my only concern here is the production will bore me with each replay.

"@that1kid13 - How could you stereotype an entire region of talented artists based on a category tab at DJBooth.net?"
That, Z, is why you take a few opinions with a grain of salt. Notice bias starts with B and ends with S. It helps to ignore comments that read "FXCK (insert genre or subgenre here), IT'S GARBAGE/NOISE/LAME" That's usually followed up with an unconvincing reason that has nothing to do with the individual song. Wow. Got into a roast there. Anyways, I think I'll let my stars do my talking. |
