Chiddy Bang, ‘The Swelly Express’ Mixtape Premiere

“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.

PMA Presents… The Xaphoon Jones Mixtape Vol. 1

We knew Xaphoon Jones first as the producer and the sampling mastermind behind the quickly rising Chiddy Bang. Chiddy Bang owe most of the publicity they get to the tight, slick samples this guy has crafted for them. Like a musical pickpocket, Xaphoon Jones showed us that he has an ear for contemporary music and making it work in unconventional environments. With his debut eponymous mixtape, Xaphoon pushes passed the boundaries we thought he had and dips into soulful Motown favorites, East Coast Rap, and Reggae.

The Xaphoon Jones Mixtape Vol. 1 introduces us to a very young, very talented producer full of promise, if not power. Pretty Much Amazing is proud to present this mixtape for your consumption. Download it, put it on your iPod, burn it onto a CD, play it at a party, send it to your friends.

PMA Presents… Timid Tiger – THE PMA.EP

Timid Tiger first came to my attention when they entered my “Womanizer” Cover Challenge. Their inspired cover of “Womanizer” led me to the treasures that Timid Tiger were hiding in Germany. I exchanged emails with the band for a few weeks and we came to the agreement that Pretty Much Amazing would premiere and distribute their EP titled, THE PMA.EP. The extended player includes four original Timid Tiger tracks, a cover, an original Timid Tiger remix, as well as two remixes by a couple of PMA’s DJ friends. Here are the cover & tracklist:
