Why do we like this?
According to Chiddy, the inspiration for this song goes something like this: he was hanging out with his brother, Cheeseburger Don, who proceeded to get so high that he fell asleep in the studio with his sunglasses on.

Given that Chiddy was probably high as well, he was quickly reminded of the oh-so-famous Ray Charles. And thus, with a little help from Xaphoon Jones, "Ray Charles" became the first single to be released from Chiddy Bang's upcoming album, Breakfast.

If you want the track, you can get it here.

By Jason Grishkoff on Apr 29, 2017 | Oh man, how can we forget a classic like this? Kid Cudi practically mastered the genre of hip-hop-over-popular-indie-rock songs, and this single serves as one of the best examples of that. I'm not really sure this genre would fly in the year 2017, b... read more →
