Xaphoon Jones (real name: Noah Beresin) is the production half of hip-hop group Chiddy Bang, and is one of my favorite new producers/mash-up artists to come out in the past few years. Unlike a lot of hip-hop, which focuses on sampling older soul or funk songs, or even other hip-hop songs, Jones is all about sampling new tracks from every genre imaginable. On Chiddy's new mixtape (more on that later), he samples from artists as diverse as Gorillaz, Ellie Goulding, and Kate Nash, to name a few. These three songs are off his first tape, the Xaphoon Jones Mixtape Vol. 1, which you can cop HERE. This guy is about to be big so listen now, before everyone else jumps on the bandwagon.
