The second Xaphoon Jones mixtape just came out!
Don't be a fool, download it at
illRoots.
If you missed the first one, it's alright,
here it is. It gave us the original remix to Darwin Deez's '
Bad Day' that was later reworked with some lines from
Chiddy. It also had the monstrously incredible tracks '
I Wanna Know Now' and '
Radar Detector'. If you don't know who
Xaphoon Jones is... then you need to get your act together buster. He's the producer half of the Philly duo,
Chiddy Bang. You should know who they are by now or you're old.
Anyways, for as fresh as Chiddy's rhymes are, Xaphoon's beats are equally dope. They've been pioneers for the college hip-hop sound, and with an album due out this year, they're certainly poised to make a bang in 2011. Xaphoon was one of the earlier DJs to sample indie music artists for hip-hop beats, and since then it has become a rapidly rising trend. Hipsters and hip-hop heads alike have set their differences aside to rave about this exciting new blend of genres. I got really link-happy because I think the music really speaks for itself with this kid. This is why it pays to stay on top of what music is new and cool; there are definitely some serious rising stars out there.
It's April Fool's Day, but Xaphoon, you crazy.
