Got Chiddy Bang?

How is this for an iesting name? Meet Chidera Anamega “Chiddy” and Noah Beresin “Xaphoon Jones” together they form the hip hop/electronica duo Chiddy Bang. Their name comes from a shortened version of Chidera while the Bang they say they really can not explain. The duo met their freshmen year while attending Drexel University in Philadelphia through a mutual friend who knew they would work well together. The band has gained enormous popularity due to their interesting blend of hip hop and unique sample choices from artists such as Radiohead, Passion Pit and MGMT. In early February 2009 the music blog Pretty Much Amazing showcased five songs by Chiddy Bang and from their they moved on to be an underground music success. Their first single, "Opposite of Adults" sampled the group MGMT’s KIDS and was released on April 20, 2010 in the US. The duos next hit single to hit the streets was a remix to UK’s Ellie Goulding’s "Under the Sheets". If you havn’t downloaded either of these tracks then you are already behind the ball and your iPod is stale so stop reading here and download those right now. Ok your back lets continue. Their style continues to impress industry titans and they are currently being courted by several major record labels. Despite their upcoming success and busy UK tour schedule they still managed to release a mini mixtape in April titled Air Swell, which is free for download by clicking the link below.

Now let’s skip to the present, two days ago on October 12th Chiddy Bang released their first studio album titles The Preview, which is on itunes for your downloading pleasure. Their first single off the album is titled "The Good Life" which is co-produced and co-written by the legendary Pharrell. Both members of the band are still attending college and when asked how they are managing the juggle they answer quite simply, “They are not”. Keep your eyes peeled for these guys and keep their name close Google because they are bound to blow up soon. Keeping your playlist fresh: Dj Dolph

Everybody Scream: ¡MAYDAY!

First let me start by saying yes that is an upside down exclamation point, how do you enter it? If your using a mac press option + 1. If your using a PC then I don't care to explain. Second who is this group ¡? Meet the Miami natives Plex Luthor, Primo Gio, LT Hopkins, Nonymous, Bernbiz and Wrekonize who have racked up thousands of positive reviews when they released their most recent mixtape Lords of the Fly on September 28th. Their sophomore studio album titled Stuck on an Island is set to drop on October 12th and is sure to grab them some much needed attention. Keeping the acoustic guitars and hip-hop synths meshing perfectly are Plex Luthor, Primo Gio, LT Hopkins and Nonymous while Bernbiz and Wrekonize release some ear catching lyrics meshing perfectly with this groups already catchy persona. Take your mind back to Weezy's questionable Rebirth album (i know hard to want to remember) but nevertheless the tracks "Da Da Da", "On Fire", and "Get A Life" all have one thing in common: ¡MAYDAY! was the backing band. The group has managed to produce a sound that reminds me of Green Day deciding to do some illegal drugs, allowing Kanye to mix their music and giving rappers an entrance over the beat. Agree haha? It’s always nice to hear when a group/artist breaks the cultural norm and does it sounding above par. With some more time in the studio I have no doubt that they release a single that goes mainstream. Wanna see what I mean, then check out a few links below. Check out their latest release titled, "Give Em A Song" featuring southern gentleman David Banner by clicking on the link below. While your at it DOWNLOAD THIS: Lords of the Fly by right clicking on the image below and click "save as". (Yes its legal). Keep your playlist fresh friends: Dj Dolph.

About Me
-

I am an independent individual who wants to succeed in the entertainment business. I have traveled to Full Sail University in September of 2010 to obtain my MBA in Entertainment Business . I hope to one day succeed not only as a hip hop producer but also a hip hop artist who writes, produces and sings his own musical compilations. I am currently working on my first mix-tape while at the same time just recently acquired a degree in Interdisciplinary Business Management with a focus in Entrepreneurship and a minor in Decision Sciences. I believe that with hunger, determination and drive anyone can achieve anything, but it is the true definition of success in one's mind that determines whether one will tackle all challenges to succeed. I am a grinder at heart and due to that nothing and nobody can ever or will ever stop me. Drive comes from passion and passion can only be obtained from dreams. Dream big or go home
