Yesterday, Chiddy Bang updated their MySpace page with a remix of Kid Cudi’s Day N Night. While remixing and sampling is common in the hip hop world, it usually involves taking a pop song and adding a few verses. It’s always fun to hear artists redo other hip hop artists’ works. Got any other favorites? leave them in the comments.
Chiddy Bang - Day and Night (Kid Cudi Remix)
Charles Hamilton, leaked a new track on twitter this morning, and it’s kind of alarming since the track is titled “Bud Dwyer” who was an American Politician that committed suicide in 1987 during a televised press conference. Charles always seemed to bounce back and forth between fun Sonic infused songs, and sort of morbid track such as Hell Boyz, which sampled The Clash. <track after jump>
Here’s a new track from Philly’s own, Chiddy Bang. Sampling MGMT’s Kids, they shout out to Pretty Much Amazing. If you’re in the Philly area, check their MySpace page for upcoming shows. They’re also playing in Brooklyn on May 13 at Southpaw. Head over to soundcloud to grab this and other great tracks.
.. is what I would say if I hadn’t been following Wale on Twitter.
come, get some: Wale - Penthouse Anthem
Kanye West, possibly the most divisive artist of this decade, has performed for VH1 Storytellers. I have always been a solid fan of Yeezy’s work. Of course like most fans can do without about 15% of his antics, but one must remember that it’s the eccentricities that make an artist an “artist”. Gotta take the good with the bad, and besides most of the time it’s just pretty funny. Check out the video for “Flashing Lights” after the jump and head over to Hypebeast for all the videos.

Yesterday, Pretty Much Amazing posted several tracks from this new artist, Chiddy Bang from Philly. Touting them as “The Coolest Thing Since the Cool Kids,” and given the fact that I’ll check anything that PMA is advocating, I snatched up the tracks he had posted and turns out he was right. Stream a few tracks below then head over to PMA or purevolume to grab the downloads.

“On Repeat” is a segment that will include albums (both old and new) that just seem to stick in our current rotation of listens.
For our first installment we have Travis Barker and DJ-AM’s mixtape that dropped last year. I picked this up from GetRight Music a few months back, but only recently has it planted itself into my playlist. This genre spanning explosion of live drum tracks over skillfully mixed pop and not-so-pop songs keeps the listener fully entertained. While not as schizo as Girl Talk, it definitely keeps your ADHD brain satisfied. Highly recommended.

Here’s a video of Asher Roth and Kid Cudi performing at PURE in Las Vegas for the Famous Stars and Straps Magic ‘09 After Party. That’s a hell of a description.
Anyway, Roth begins with “Canon” and there’s a little bit of “I Love College.” Cudi, of course, does “Day ‘N Night”
You can get these tracks on XXL’s 10 Freshman mixtape at Get Right. It’s worth the download. Check the vid after the jump.
