Video: ZAK! Downtown – “Poppin’ Pills”

Our friend ZAK! Downtown sent over this brand new video for “Poppin’ Pills!” earlier today, one of the standout tracks from his debut mixtape Stuck to the Sidewalk. Relying on a well-flipped sample by producer Astro Raw, “Poppin’ Pills!” is a feel-good track, even if the music is about, well, poppin’ some prescription pills. Stay away from the pills, y’all.

ZAK! is planning on releasing a 10 track mixtape of original songs in early September. In the meantime, he’s out promoting and playing shows with Chiddy Bang, Hoodie Allen, and potentially Big Sean. We’ll keep you updated.

joomplu:265Mind your manners and check out Chiddy and Xaph’s latest offering, a brand new lyric video for their summer-time single, “Mind Your Manners”. Chiddy Bang‘s Iconapop-sampling jam (produced by Xaphoon, of course) was first released to the world a few weeks ago to generate buzz for the Philadelphia duo’s highly-anticipated debut album, Breakfast, which will be released later this summer via EMI/Parlaphone.

The video features animated lyrics to the single and a wide assortment of breakfast foods in the background. Check it out after the break and remember to show your support for the two when the single drops on iTunes on the 19th. Another music video will be released for the song in the near future. Swelly!

Listen: Chiddy Bang – “Mind Your Manners”

You might remember Chiddy of Chiddy Bang setting the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous freestyle — 9 hours, 18 minutes, 22 seconds of nonstop rapping — at MTV’s O Music Awards just over a month ago. After finishing his freestyle, Chiddy and Xaphoon took the stage to debut the lead single from their upcoming debut studio album Breakfast (out July 19), an upbeat jam entitled “Mind Your Manners”. The duo recently dropped their newest mixtape Peanut Butter and Swelly, available for download here.

We now have the full studio version of the song, which you can stream or download below. Furthermore, if you’re in LA and are interested in auditioning for the music video, more information is available here (shout out to my friend Marc at Mostly Junk Food for the link).
