Chiddy Bang Teams With Legendary Singer Daryl Hall For New Episode of “Daryl’s House”
(AllHipHop News) Alternative Hip-Hop group Chiddy Bang recently teamed with fellow Philadelphian Daryl Hall, for an episode on the legendary Hall and Oates singer’s critically acclaimed series “Live From Daryl’s House.” The rappers joined Daryl for a seven-song set, that includes versions of Hall and Oates classics like “Fall in Philadelphia,” “(She) Got Me Bad” and songs like “Mind Your Manners” and “Talking To Myself,” from Chiddy Bang’s album Breakfast. Later in the episode, Sylvester Stallone’s brother Frank joins in the set, since he sang in a Doo-Wop group on the street corners of Philadelphia, as did Daryl Hall. “Like all good musicians from this town, these guys are steeped in all the right influences, from soul and R&B to Hip-Hop, with a style all their own. It was a lot of fun,” Daryl Hall said of working with Chiddy Bang. During the episode, chef Vito Marcello cooks meatballs from Frank’s mother’s special recipe, before he breaks into the song “Take You Back” from his brother’s movie “Rocky.” Chiddy Bang group member Xaphoon Jones said playing with Daryl was one of the highlight’s of his career thus far. “Playing music together with a legend like Daryl was definitely a moment Chiddy and I will not forget. And to cook together…damn!” The new episode of the award-winning web series and nationally syndicated program is available online now at www.lfdh.com.
