This is about a week late, but it’s close enough. As some of you may know, Chiddy Bang is an up-and-coming rap/hip-hop group consisting of Chiddy and Xaphoon Jones. Xaphoon’s purpose in the group is to make beats and produce all of their music. The group definitely has some talent and large potential for the future. If you’re going to doubt their talents, you need to watch this video…

Yes, that’s a world record…Now on to the album…Review below.

Chiddy Bang has been a favorite of ours for years now. Their mixtape “Swelly Express” might be my favorite mixtape of all time. After “Swelly Express”, the group somewhat faltered in their next releases. Specifically, “Peanut Butter and Swelly” was a fairly horrendous body of work for Chiddy and Xaphoon. After “Peanut Butter and Swelly”, I really didn’t know what to expect from “Breakfast”, their first studio album. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised by this album. Although Chiddy’s lyrics lack meaning or substance, Chiddy Bang is just so damn entertaining to listen to. After listening to the album, a few things came to my mind. First, Xaphoon Jones is amazing. Plain and simple. The production on this album is as good as any album I’ve ever listened to. The production value made this album worth the $7.99 in my mind. Also, I realized that if Chiddy begins rapping with meaning and emotion, this group could be a force to be reckoned with in the industry. Honestly, Chiddy might have the most rapping talent of any young rapper, and he is wasting it on lines about weed and getting girls. It’s really a waste. There’s still plenty of time for this to improve, though. Overall this album was above average despite the lack of meaning.

6/10
