After a string of critically acclaimed mixtapes, claiming a Guinness World Record, puffing herb with rock ‘n’ roll legend Keith Richards, and plenty of rescheduled release dates, hometown hip hop duo Chiddy Bang finally released their official debut full-length album Breakfast yesterday. Earlier this week, Chiddy and Xaphoon brought their blend of hip hop, electronica and pop to late night TV with appearances on Conan O’Brien and Jay Leno with performances of the album’s lead single “Ray Charles.” Tonight’s show at the North Star Bar will serve as their official record release party in their hometown, which they decided to make an all ages event so all their fans could come by and join in the fun. The duo has expanded to a full band like they did back in their Drexel University days. Unfortunately, the show is already sold out, but fans can stay swelly by streaming the new album here and checking out their performance on Conan below. (BTW: We HATE Jay Leno.) North Star Bar (2639 Poplar Street), $15 (SOLD OUT), 7pm, All Ages – Dan Brightcliffe
