Fifty-word reviews
Ah, the arrogance of youth. But what’s this? The arrogance is supported by fly beats and a smooth flow? Producer Xaphoon Jones stars here, crafting the original beats that propel this mixtape forward. The Chiddy kids use them well - if this is the future of indie rap, count me in.
Last year's terrible Peanut Butter & Swelly and subsequent, ill-conceived nine-hour freestyle ground to a halt any momentum created by Chiddy Bang’s inaugural mixtape. On Breakfast, Xaphoon Jones takes a break from obvious indie-sampling, and Chiddy avoids most of his cringe-inducing rhymes. The result: delicious pop rap.
