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.
The Mind Your Manners Songfacts states that Chidera "Chiddy" Anamege broke the world record for the longest freestyle on April 28, 2011. His freestyle lasted 9 hours, 18 minutes, and 22 seconds, supported by looped beats played by Xaphoon, beating the previous longest time by three minutes.

Chiddy Bang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We done came 'round
And turned this music shit into another playground
And they some babies like Huey
Bars like a chewy
Long as life's a movie I'll be addicted to Louie, yeah
To all the haters and traitors I need a podium
Benedicts, tell these Arnolds hey, Nickelodeon
Say they love me then they flip sides like a coin toss
Which one... heads or tails?
The way I kill shit, I should be alleged with jail
I'm on a ledge and still about math, parabola
Legendary shit, wrote raps in my brother's Acura
Bro, back when they used to laugh at ya
Cause your parents from Africa
President, but you cannot assassinate my character
Yeah, so check the Fahrenheit these days
And stay hydrated, welcome to the heat wave
Uh, yeah, it's like a heat wave
There ain't a place we ain't been to these days
Yeah, uh, it's like a heat wave
How we do it make it look so easy
Ayo, this right here a heat wave
Keep it on the replay
Still we droppin' bombs on these records, call it d-day
Yeah I've heard what he say, thinkin' I ain't shit though
Got these fools pissed like they just stubbed their big toe
All I do is give, though
In every single zip code
The walls closing in right now, you're just a window
Homie, I'm the door from the ceiling to the floor
When I spit my verse these rappers ain't rapping anymore
And that's for sure, sorry to get cocky
Iller than you, and everybody in your posse
Homie, I'm probably chilling with some punani
Hotter than this wasabi
Pittsburgh boy, Sidney Crosby
Smoke veggies no casey, no broccoli
Tell your girl if she could please stop calling me, she buggin'
I need to put her on lock
Tired of fucking that bitch, so I put her on top
Uh, yeah, it's like a heat wave
There ain't a place we ain't been to these days
Yeah, uh, it's like a heat wave
How we do it make it look so easy

Line by Line Meaning
It's not the same now
Things have changed since we first started making music
We done came 'round
We've come a long way
And turned this music shit into another playground
We made music into a fun game
And they some babies like Huey
Other artists are inexperienced like children
Bars like a chewy
My lyrics are satisfying and enjoyable
Long as life's a movie I'll be addicted to Louie, yeah
I'll always love designer Louis Vuitton
To all the haters and traitors I need a podium
I want to publicly address those who dislike me
Benedicts, tell these Arnolds hey, Nickelodeon
Those who betrayed me are like Arnold from Hey Arnold!, a former Nickelodeon show
Special with decimals I'm tryin'a get my point across
I'm good at math and want to make my point clear
Say they love me then they flip sides like a coin toss
People claim to love me, but change their minds easily
Which one... heads or tails?
Which side of the coin flip will they choose?
The way I kill shit, I should be alleged with jail
I'm so good at rapping that people might think I have criminal intentions
I'm on a ledge and still about math, parabola
Even though I take risks, I still value math and complex concepts like parabolas
Legendary shit, wrote raps in my brother's Acura
I've been making great music since I was young, even using my brother's car
Bro, back when they used to laugh at ya
People used to mock me
Cause your parents from Africa
Because my parents are immigrants from Africa
President, but you cannot assassinate my character
I may be successful, but my reputation cannot be ruined
Yeah, so check the Fahrenheit these days
It's really hot lately
And stay hydrated, welcome to the heat wave
Stay hydrated to deal with the heat wave
Ayo, this right here a heat wave
This music is hot and popular
Keep it on the replay
Keep listening to it
Still we droppin' bombs on these records, call it d-day
We're making impactful music that changes the game
Yeah I’ve heard what he say, thinkin' I ain't shit though
People underestimate me and talk badly about me
Got these fools pissed like they just stubbed their big toe
They're angry at me for no good reason
All I do is give, though
I'm generous and giving
In every single zip code
I'm popular everywhere
The walls closing in right now, you're just a window
People who don't believe in me are temporary and insignificant.
Homie, I'm the door from the ceiling to the floor
I'm the main attraction from top to bottom
When I spit my verse these rappers ain't rapping anymore
Other rappers can't keep up with me
And that's for sure, sorry to get cocky
I don't mean to sound arrogant, but it's the truth
Iller than you, and everybody in your posse
I'm better than everyone in your group
Homie, I'm probably chilling with some punani
I'm probably with some women
Hotter than this wasabi
I'm hotter than a spicy condiment
Pittsburgh boy, Sidney Crosby
I'm from Pittsburgh, just like Sidney Crosby who plays for the Penguins
Smoke veggies no casey, no broccoli
I don't smoke weed with Casey or broccoli in it
Tell your girl if she could please stop calling me, she buggin'
I'm annoyed that someone's girlfriend won't stop calling me.
I need to put her on lock
I need to stop the girl from calling me
Tired of fucking that bitch, so I put her on top
I'm tired of having sex with her, but I'll let her be in control.
Uh, yeah, it's like a heat wave
The music scene is hot and popular
There ain't a place we ain't been to these days
We've been everywhere lately
How we do it make it look so easy
We make it look effortless and cool.
