Let’s get weird.” If by weird, he meant perform an awesome Sunday afternoon set, then it’s clear it was mission accomplished for these guys. These “Opposite Of Adults” twosome were also joined on a few songs by rapper XV.

Chidera Anamege and Noah Beresin, better known as Chiddy Bang, brought their alternative hip hop sound to Los Angeles’ Key Club theater last night. The duo kicked off their set with their Yelle-sampling song “Fresh Like Us”. Their show included a special freestyling segment—Chidera took five word suggestions from the audience, which included “roller skates”, “ordering pizza” and “The World Cup”, and combined them into one effortless rap number. Chiddy Bang closed out with the audience favorite “Opposite Of Adults” before our Popping Up artist Mike Posner, the evening’s headliner, took the stage.
