On the eve of the one year anniversary of signing to NUE Agency, the rapper is attempting to break the 2009 Guinness record of World’s Longest Freestyle rap, which was set by M-Eighty with the mark of 9 hours, 15 minutes and 15 seconds.
Thursday, Chiddy sat down to break this amazing feat while being streamed live on OMusicAwards.com and MTV.com. Sitting in front of a camera, Chiddy spent his day rhyming about whatever came to his mind, but he did not do it all alone. The hip-hop artist also had help from his fans.
During his freestyle, his fans were encouraged to tweet him topics via his Twitter page @RealChiddy with the hash tag #RapWorldRecord. A few of the ideas tweeted at him included topics ranging from Family Matters and Steve Urkel, astronauts in space, to the pyramids in Giza. Other music artists are even showing Chiddy some of their love by tweeting at him, with the most notable being Matt and Kim.
Chiddy is one part of the alternative hip hop band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2008, he met his group mate Noah “Xaphoon Jones” Beresin during their freshman year at Drexel University. The band released their first EP’s The Opposite of Adults EP and Chiddy Bang: The Preview in 2010, reaching as high as #11 on the U.S. Rap charts and #76 of the U.S. overall charts. In 2011, the duo plans to release another full length album, but still kept mum on the release date. Currently the band is lined up to headline 2011’s Bamboozle Roadshow.
Congrats to Chiddy for even considering to break this record, let alone surpassing it. The bar has been set high rap world!
