Chiddy Bang - Too Much Soul
Artist: Chiddy Bang
Producer: Xaphoon Jones
Album: Peanut Butter & Swelly
Label: EMI
Could it be—could Chiddy Bang simply have Too Much Soul for today’s music game? I’m leaning towards “no,” if only for the fact that they don’t make soul music in any sense of the term I’m familiar with. Nonetheless, the Philly emcee-producer duo most definitely possess a certain je ne sais quoi that makes them, and their work hard to pin down within pre-established categories. That special something is on full display on this mixtape standout and potential single selection, which finds Xaphoon Jones once again flipping an indie record into hip-pop gold; over an electro-informed groove adapted from Hockey’s Too Fake (complete with Chipmunked hook), Chiddy busts out some of his most explosive flows to date as he illuminates the plight of “real” individuals in an industry crowded with posers. Though he admits that constant contact with phonies (no Holden Caulfield) can be aggravating, that clearly hasn’t dulled the duo’s resolve to conquer the game. Think this ambitious cut is hit material? Debate away—and, if you haven’t already, drop whatever you’re doing and cop Chiddy Bang Peanut Butter & Swelly LP, released May 27, and available now online.

Chiddy is a really underrated rapper in US while he is pretty popular in the UK, Aus etc. Like this version better than the Big Sean Too Fake song

This track is awesome. The thing I love most about Chiddy Bang is their energy. Xaphoon is crazy behind the boards and Chiddy's lyrics are so clever. Definitely one of the best tracks of Peanut Butter & Swelly.
