Fresh off of their West Coast Opposite of Adults tour Chiddy Bang is taking cues from Wale’s motto #nodaysoff and hitting up the East Coast with The Swelly Life Tour.
Featuring Donnis, XV, 2am Club and DJ sets by DJ Benzi, the tour kicks off on August 4th in Pittsburgh, PA and ends on September 2nd in none other than Philly, PA.
Following their live performances at UK’s renowned Glastonbury and Wireless Festival, Chiddy Bang will also be rocking out at this year’s Lollapolloza in Chicago, IL on August 8th.
Make sure to follow Chiddy Bang on the road this summer in the Puma sponsored web-series, “The Swelly Life” and keep a look out for their debut album, Here We Go,slated to drop August 24th. Also keep an eye out for 2am Club’s debut album, What Did You Think Was Going To Happen? dropping July 27th and XV’s Vizzy Zone, coming your way early August.
It’s been 10 years since Donavan Johnson became XV.
Hailing from Kansas, a land that’s not necessarily known for it’s hip-hop artists, XV started out as “everybody’s nobody.” After releasing various mixtapes that showcased his skills as an MC, we’ve been able to witness his growth as an artist and gotten to know XV as one of the forerunners in the next era of hip-hop.
XV shook off the disappointment of being denied a spot on this year’s XXL’s Freshman 10. Staying on his grind, XV was named one of the best acts of SXSW, released “30 Minute Layover,” got picked up by NUE Agency, hopped on tour with Clipse & Chiddy Bang and… officially got signed to Warner Bros. Records.
For those of you who’ve been following XV, this is a the moment we’ve all been eagerly anticipating.
For those of you who’ve yet to familiarize yourself with XV, The Kid with The green Backpack, welcome to Vizzy Zone.

Amidst his hiatus from Twitter, people have been wondering… where is Wale? Fortunately for us, he won’t be going Bron Bron on us and doing something crazy like moving from the DMV to let’s say, Espana. Sticking to what works, Wale returns with two new tracks and a short trailer about what he’s been up to. We’ve never been so excited to hear an artist drop a mixtape that’s More About Nothing.
Hit the jump to check out his new tracks and make sure to let us know what you think.
