Chiddy Bang: MTV PUSH Artist Of The Week

Chiddy Bang is getting some good attention lately and they deserve it. Over at MTV, they are the PUSH Artist of The Week! Above is a live video to “Here We Go” off The Preview. If you watch all the live videos, you can see That Kid C-G wearing a red hat and a red shirt whenever the camera looks to the right occasionally. Here’s the article:


What, exactly, is Chiddy Bang? Chiddy Bang sounds like a high-impact sound, a street movement and a sudden sensation. All those things are true. But specifically, Chiddy Bang is Chidera “Chiddy” Anamege and Noah Beresin, aka Xaphoon Jones. They’re hip-hop heads, indie-rock experts, sample savvy, instrumentalists and lyricists, and they’re about to become very very big.


Chiddy Bang went from a college campus–Chidera and Noah met at Drexel University–to must-know band among the music blog set (not to mention Kanye West, who blogged about them), which latched on to their early tracks and The Swelly Express mixtape–to mainstage must-sees at Glastonbury and Lollapalooza and guest spots on Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg’s live shows. And if it hasn’t already, Chiddy Bang’s new album, The Preview, and their upcoming The Swelly Life full-length, is about to take up permanent residence on your iPod. And we guarantee it won’t sound anything like anything you’ve already got on it.
