Chiddy Bang, ‘The Swelly Express’ Mixtape Premiere
29 Oct
“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. PMA is proud to present this mixtape with OnSMASH and Crooks & Castles.

AWESOME.
Missing some key tracks like “Because,” but I already have that so it's not a big deal. I've got my Chiddy fix for a while
This mixtape is FIRE! Kind of bummed “Because” isn't on it, but that's okay. It's been a long time coming…
The Swelly Express >>>>>>>> No Ceilings
Swelly Express + No Ceilings = great!
these guys are about to blow the fuck up.. i can feel it. but they should have added Because, and their Day N Nite remix. that would have gotten attention by labels..
Bang-a-langin
Awesome tape guys. It's cool, but just wondering why you changed the name from “Kids” to “The Opposite of Adults (KIDS)”?
i'm guessing they only used the tracks of which the samples cleared, legally, like Passion Pit, MGMT, Sufjan, Yell, Belle & Seb.. or in other words indie artists. I guess the major label samples (Kid Cudi, Radiohead, Tom Waits) weren't as generous?
Or maybe they just didnt feel like putting them in… lol.
good point
i think you're onto something.
but wasn't “Reckoner” (the radiohead track sampled in “because”) self-released in 07 and then released on XL in 08? XL recording works w/ Discovery, Vampire Weekend, MIA, Friendly Fires, Basement Jaxx, Cool Kids, etc. So I think Radiohead are back to being “indie”
personally, i'm happy as long as “Truth”, “Kids” (or “The Opposite of Adults” now), and “All Things Go” are on it.
I DO with Because was on it, but it doesn't really matter since I have the track already…
finally, hot shit from these guys.. i can bump chiddy bang all day. Respect.
What garbage! I am a huge Chiddy Bang fan, but it's like all of the really sick tracks came out before this shitty album which is half composed of skits. SO DISAPPOINTED!
FAGGOT
lol hater alert.
we all knew all the chiddy tracks leaking before were to lead up to the mixtape. it makes sense that they released some of the biggest ones before ther mixtape. there are still some hot ones in here that we've never heard “Silver Screen” “Slow Down” “Get Up In The Morning” & i like the skits. it backs up the “music based on a true story” feel.
I'm liking Danger Zone. The flow kinda reminds me of vintage 50
i thought the same exact thing
is no one acknowledging that fucking black thought is on the mixtape?
that is the key of this mixtape for them to blow up
THE ROOTS ARE IN THE BUILDING BITCHES!
yeah dude your a fucking hater WOW.
So excited to be finally listening to their mixtape! I've been waiting for this since April. They're going to be Huge
WOW! this is great! deff the new sound of music…very nice to hear something besides the same old thing…
only comment is that i think the beats are a little loud on a few of the songs
other than that great job guys!!! keep the heat commin!!!

These guys really struck gold with this one!!!
Holy shit. This made my crappy evening!
I wish that they put on our way on this.
I just noticed that they never said the N-word on this mixtape did they? even on the Biggie sample. I think that's pretty cool, especially how it's like the most common word on a lot of mixtapes these days. Also, living in DC, I'm a big Wale fan. And as good and fresh Wale and Chiddy Bang both are, I think Chiddy Bang has the most potential and could do whatever they want. Also, I think Wale would sound great on one of their songs….
xaphoon jones sleeps in my bed, and when I'm allowed, he lets me join him there.
He slept in my bed last night. what a homeless bum.
um… rap album of the year?
um… rap album of the year?
I think the mixtape was great… 9/10
This stuff is ill
But let me take a moment to state that its almost always a mistake to step on a track with Black Thought of the Legendary Roots Crew. He's too animalistic.
Regardless, the Mixtape is quality. Xaphoon is a hell of a producer. He's the reason they're getting props, he's doing some amazing samples.
so excited when i heard about this! i hope its awesome.
something tells me xaphoon is an amazing kisser
Not as Instantly grabbing as many of the earlier songs were. But there's plenty of good stuff there, classic case of over expectation/hype an waiting so long for it too drop. However chiddy bang are still putting nearly everything else to shame musically. Cant wait for the album.
they should not have dropped the other members of the group either.
Get out my bed, slut!
They did nothing in the group… they were obsolete. good riddance.
They were really important to the group in the earlier stages. I get the feeling Chid wanted to be more of a rapper and less of a band, so he kicked out everyone except the producer. Either way, their recordings remain the same. They will be missed, though.
how do you download this? because its a zip file. so how would you open it?
You need winzip if youre using windows.. for a mac, it should open on its own and extract in the location of the .zip.
Does anyone know what song “Get Up in the Morning” samples?
Israelites by Desmond Dekker is the sample on Get Up In The Morning
anybody no were to get because?? Im like obbsessed with chiddy and i wana kno were to get ittttttt
http://soundcloud.com/chiddy-bang – a couple unreleased tracks on there.
yeah, been waiting for this……my man eldee tha don also involved…cool
tooo dope, this is an unreal mxtape
dopeness, slept on this one…thanks for posting. definitely a sampling giant in the game. big + for production, flow is cool, but they got some growing to do.
The Duke Himself!!
