So, I came across BLENEDED BABIES (The Chicago Producers)first on a track they produce for local rapper ESOHEL - PUSHIN, that's track two on my mixtape "Back To The Grill Again" :CHI-TOWN EDITION, which I still think is a Classic Chicago Mixtape featuring every artist at that time talked about or mention in that month...Still a overall classic in general though.
that can be heard here
This was over two years ago. Once I heard that track, I look the Blended Babies up again and found another local artist that I also like called SKOODA CHOSE ft. MIKEY ROCKS (of Cool Kids) & TWISTA - LOUNGIN' (PROD. BY BLENDED BABIES) video below. This video is mad nice and it just looks like it was fun.
They have went on to produce many more tracks for various artists. The most recent ones are from Charles Worth (born October 20, 1986 in Cleveland, Ohio) aka CHIP THA RIPPER - PLURAL CO. (PROD. BY BLENDED BABIES) on GIFT RAPS (Below)
and
Asher Paul Roth (born August 11, 1985 in Morrisville, Pennsylvania) aka ASHER ROTH - MORE COWBELL (PROD. BY BLENDED BABIES)
and finally, this one is a BANGER!!!
ASHER ROTH ft. CHIP THA RIPPER & WHATZISFACE - BACK HOME (PROD. BY BLENDED BABIES)
All I can say is if you looking for heat! You know who to find in Chicago! Stay tune for another good post Tonight!
