A year long dry spell from indie hip hop artist Chiddy Bang has finally ended with a dreamy and mellow track entitled Breathe. 

In 2012, Chiddy Bang’s first studio album Breakfast was released, however back then it was a duo consisting of Chidera “Chiddy” Anamege and Noah “Xaphoon Jones” Beresin. Since then, Xaphoon Jones announced he would leaving the duo to solely focus on his love of production.

Going solo with the same name, Chiddy Bang (now just Chidera Anamege) teamed up with talented producer Yuri Beat$ to release this first taste of upcoming EP Baggage Claim, set to be released later this year.

The song is chilled out and relaxing, with a summery feel good vibe exuding from the soothing guitar riff, leisurely paced percussion and a resonating organ sound tying it altogether. The chorus is reminiscent of the duo’s work last year; repetitive and reasonably simple yet irresistibly catchy. 

It’s a taste for Chiddy’s fans of what is to come with his upcoming EP, and I believe it will keep them happy although it’s reasonably different to last year’s energetic and kitsch hip-hop/pop classics.

No date is confirmed for the release of Baggage Claim, but it will definitely be hitting the internet within the year. Get excited!
