mind your music: chiddy bang
Can i first say how excited i am about to see Chiddy Bang? Cause i’m EXCITED! i would type in all capitals but i feel like that would be rude. Regardless … i’m still really excited!
Who Are They : The East coast has done it again, this time producing the Philly college drop outs known as Chidera “Chiddy” Anamege and Noah Beresin. Part indie music, part hip hop, and all awesome. They’ve hit it big rather quickly, and are coming out with their first studio album next month. And all before either of them are 21.
Favorite Song : Chiddy Bang has put out two “mixtapes” that sample from everything and everyone. MGMT, Sufjan Stevens, Passion Pit, and Marry Poppins to name a few. Generally, i never listen to anything even hinting of hip hop or rap, but this infusion is fresh and addictive.

Makes Me Think Of / Feels Like : Baltimore, my boyfriend’s bright red high tops, and hot, hot summertime.

This is HILARIOUS – I don’t know much about Chiddy Bang but my boyfriend’s band opened up for them at our Alma Mater and a ‘Sprinfest’ type thing. There are these huge bushes that wrap all the way around the front of the stage – if you were standing right in front of the stage the bushes would be in front, even height with the floor of the stage, maybe about 6 feet tall. I guess Chiddy Bang was doing his thing up there and because it was dark the bushes looked like more stage and he walked right out onto them and fell straight through! I was in the back so I didn’t see it but people said it was absolutely hilarious: one minute he’s up on the stage and then he just disappeared. I would have loved to see that.
That’s really funny! They’re young – it will be interesting to see them live. Oh, and hooray for your boyfriend’s band! That’s exciting.
