Chiddy Bang is a hip hop act from Philadelphia consisting of frontman Proto and producer/keyboardist Xaphoon Jones, along with drummer Zach Sewall and vocalist/guitarist Pat Braz. Oh, and they're also awesome. The newest in huge-white-fanbase rap, they have that hipster charm that make The Cool Kids so appealing, and I imagine they most likely get hated on by Gucci Mane fans. Either way, these first year college students (that's in the American sense - university) have created a beautiful marriage between engaging depth of content and mature, widely influenced production. You can download "Swelly Express," the mixtape they released some time last year; it's completely free and can be found here. Also, the new video for their single "Opposite of Adults," which both samples and improves MGMT's "Kids" is available to watch on youtube any time you like. I have however cut out the middle man and provided it for you right here:
The whole superimposed head effect works really well, I'm sure you'll agree, and if you want to see them live, they're supporting Hockey (odd, I know) in London, Manchester and Glasgow between the 24th and 26th February 2010.
