It’s hard not to akin Chiddy Bang to the Cool Kids, but I don’t remember the Cool Kids dropping anything as good as what I’ve heard from Chiddy Bang, in a long while. A couple of weeks ago, I posted up 5 songs from these guys to an incredible response.
Oh, and yes, I’m still reeling over that Radiohead-samplin’ track. Kudos to Xaphoon Jones, Chiddy Bang’s beatmaker and sampling enthusiast. Double Kudos to Xaphoon for this fresh remix of Chiddy Bang’s “Fresh Like Us.” On this new version, the sample has been pumped up and the back-beat lets us know that Chiddy Bang, and their bud Theodore Grams mean business.
Chiddy Bang tell me that Xaphoon’s mixtape is dubbed “Too Gangster for Hipsters, Too Hip For Gangsters Vol. 1″ and it’s dropping this Spring. Download “Fresh Like Us” below:

Nice remix, I like the vocal treatment on Theodore’s vocals…
Haven’t heard the original, but this is a cool song. I’m going to check out the 5 you posted earlier now.
I like this better than anything I’ve heard from the Cool Kids. For whatever reason, I just never got into them. This is cool though.
This is some hottness!!! Chiddy Bang has been my new fav act since you posted “Sooner or Later.” FANTASTIC!!!
Dunno. Think I’d rather just listen to the original Yelle song than this new vocal treatment.
