Chiddy Bang have kicked off the jelly and added the swelly in this trailer for their highly-anticipated mixtape Peanut Butter & Swelly. It’s only fitting that they name their mixtape that, because, well, they go together like peanut butter and jelly. I’m not one to post teasers or trailers but Chiddy Bang is just pretty much amazing and trailer features a new track off the tape. The mixtape drops May 27th on illRoots.

In case you don’t know who Xaphoon Jones is, he’s the incredibly awesome one half that makes Chiddy Bang. The mixtape brings 16 tracks and remixes that are insanely smooth. Xaphoon is on point with his production skills. Down below and check after the jump for the tracklist:

As a music blogger, I go through tons of music from artists and bands that either email or tell me to check them out via Twitter. I appreciate that, by the way. Most of the time the rappers can’t rap, the singers can’t sing, and the bands just suck. But, the other day, I spotted some gold. I’m a sucker for hip-hop artists sampling indie in a Chiddy Bang-esque way. G-Eazy puts the West Coast hip-hop style in an East Cost form. Just imagine Pac Div and a mellow Pharrell.
It’s easy

Whoa! It’s been a while since we’ve posted here on the site. I know we have taken a sort of nose dive since our last giveaway, but I’m back and more energized than ever now that I finished my Winter quarter in school. I’m on spring break and with the constant raining it seems like I might just stay in bed all week long. That’s a good thing for you guys: We get to place more music content on the site and I can gear up for our next giveaway.
With that out of the way, Pusha T has come out of SXSW in Texas on fire with some G.O.O.D. music and now a new mixtape. It’s a highly anticipated mixtape that features collabs with Kanye West, Rick Ross, and 50 Cent. That’s the kind of power you get once your signed to a music label like Kanye’s.
