I was in a major toss-up for today between which of two songs to post that I had heard today for the first time each. One was serious hip hop song whereas the other was a very self aware hip hop song by a white guy out of Maine. I chose the former.

Chiddy Bang is a hip hop duo fresh out of Philly (by fresh, I mean they are college freshman) who had just released their first EP on Monday in the UK iTunes store (Not US yet). I gotta say I love what they brought to the table with this song. They heavily sampled MGMT’s “Kids” hence the name of their song and the witty puns didn’t end there. They’ve definitely got the production value and flow to make it to be successful in this hip hop market that is looking for something new. Weezy’s flow will soon get old and the Hova’s 9 piece band or Cudder’s jazzy flow will be the new wave.

They don’t end there either. These guy’s have sampled musical heavyweights including Radiohead and Tom Waits. Look into em. They are changing the face of hip hop.

Can I please get a little bit of knowledge
Somebody tell Roth that I don’t love college
‘Cause the real world’s kinda like Real World
And it’s drama so you watch so you are Svetlana and I’m just a rhymer

Chiddy Bang – Opposite Of Adults [zshare]

P.S. – Don’t expect a throwback tomorrow. It’ll probably be the other song I was talking about earlier…
