Chiddy Bang formed when Anamege and Beresin met at Drexel University in 2008. After months of support from underground music blogs, the pair released their debut mixtape The Swelly Express via blog Pretty Much Amazing. The release was met with widespread acclaim and led to the group signing a recording contract with EMI in January 2010.
Their first commercial single on the label taken from their The Swelly Express mixtape, Opposite of Adults, samples the Brooklyn group MGMT's 'Kids' and was released on February 21, 2010 in the UK. It reached number 12 on the UK Singles Chart and later peaked at 90 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. A second single from the mixtape titled Truth was released in the UK and peaked at number 50. Following this success, Chiddy Bang released a second mixtape exclusively within the UK featuring remixes and adaptations of popular British artists including tinie tempah, ellie goulding and kate nash.
In October 2010 the pair released Chiddy Bang: The Preview - an EP consisting of previous singles and new material - serving as a prelude to their debut album scheduled for release in Spring 2011.

All Over
Chiddy Bang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I travel all over the place
All over the place
All over the place
I travel all over the place
Aight yo drop that shit, drop it
Aloha, bon voyage
I be everywhere, tell us where you going with your swell ass
To northern Ireland, Chiddy could reign Belfast
Couldn't picture my life ever be turtle
Had a show in Wilmington, but we flew out of Myrtle
Yeah and this is my style, numbers that I dial
Know that time is limited I got a lot of sky miles
Hey, for where's making it worse
I was working double shifts like an agency nurse
And maybe at first, eggs this guy's overdone
And I hit the slope on them now my rise over run
And I spit that dope on them and my mind is a gun
And I'm waiting to blow, this what you should know
If you ain't get the picture, understand that there is more to me
Got me throwing my arms around Paris shit, Morrissey
All over, all over
I'm throwing my arms around
Around Paris because
All over, all over
Only stone and steel accept my love
I will be back, accept my love
All over, all over
I'm throwing my arms around
Around Paris because
All over, all over
Only stone and steel accept my love
I will be back, accept my love
Different cities for these different days
It's a daze, lately I've been smoking on some different haze
Employers hate the day when you find something different pays
Remember rapping, my parents would tell me it's a phase
Yeah, well I'm sorry it's not
I'm calling it shot cause I gotta give it all that I got
Yeah, knowledge is power I can't wait to see my mind climb
And so is she, she can't wait to give me Einstein
But she can't call it a quickie
Peanut butter love I be gone in a jiffy
Yeah, see what else do we have but integrity
At which point do you become celebrity?
They want my signature, but I don't write legibly
Allegedly a Monster, can you feel the energy?
Even though I'm about to change latitudes
Never stress and I take the easy nigga with attitude
All over, all over
I'm throwing my arms around
Around Paris because
All over, all over
Only stone and steel accept my love
I will be back, accept my love
All over, all over
I'm throwing my arms around
Around Paris because
All over, all over
Only stone and steel accept my love
I will be back, accept my love
Over
I will be back
Accept my love
Over
Over
I will be back
Accept my love
Over
Over
I travel all over the place
All over the place
All over the place
I travel all over the place
All over the place
All over the place
The song "All Over" by Chiddy Bang talks about the experience of traveling to different places, meeting new people and experiencing different things. The first few lines of the song talk about the artist's experience traveling all over the world, which is then followed by a list of different places like Europe, Prague, and Ireland that he's planning to visit.
In the subsequent verses, the artist talks about his rise to fame, going from "double shifts" to making a mark in the rap industry. He talks about how he's striving for success and how his hard work is starting to pay off. He also expresses his eagerness for knowledge and self-improvement, as he mentions the desire to see his mind climb.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "All Over" multiple times, perhaps an emphasis on the theme of traveling and experiencing new things. The mention of Paris and how only "stone and steel accept his love" perhaps suggest that the artist is in love with the idea of traveling and discovering new things. The song ends with a repetition of the phrase "I travel all over the place" followed by the artist's affirmation of his love for traveling.
Overall, "All Over" is a upbeat and lively track that captures the spirit of adventure and discovery that comes with travel.
