Author: Chiddy Bang: The Swelly Express
DeadBeatz brings you this special post on Chiddy Bang’s debut mixtape ‘The Swelly Express’ which was released on October 29th this year. These guys are sky rocketing across the underground blog charts around the world, impressing everyone with their inspired lyrics and hip-hop run-over’s of the like’s of MGMT, Passion Pit and Sufjan Stevens. Thanks to Pretty Much Amazing’s interview with the 1st year college duo, we get an insight of their true potential in the ‘industry’ (who knows, maybe mainstream one day!)
“The Swelly Express” is the true story of two college kids (Chidera Anamege and Xaphoon Jones) from Philly who rocked some parties at Drexel and quickly gained the attention of “the industry”. The music and lyrics were inspired by many boring trips on the Chinatown bus (they have wifi now!) on the way to meet “big wigs” in NYC. After a bunch of nice dinners and some free drinks for these 2 underage kids, Chiddy Bang decided to make a mixtape.
