The ‘Hot Cheetos And Takis’ Follow-Up Has Landed, And It’s Just As Amazing

Remember ‘Hot Cheetos And Takis’? That clip by an extremely-unknown and disarmingly charismatic collective of primary school children — Y.N.RichKids — which went viral almost immediately last year, thanks to the excellent production values, on-point hip hop references, and the total adorability of Ben10, aka Rapper #5?

And the fact that the whole song was entirely about snack foods?

An investigative break-down by Grantland explained that the clip and song had been produced at the Nellie Stone Johnson Beacons Center in Minneapolis, whose apparently incredible after-school program, ‘Beats And Rhymes’, has been responsible for eight albums so far: four-a-piece for R.N.RichKids, and a related group called The NSJ Crew.

Both groups are back with their follow-ups, which dropped over the weekend and were directed by Ben Hughes, who has the best job ever.

First up, ‘My Bike’, by R.N.RichKids — which equals ‘Hot Cheetos and Takis’ for reference-dropping, the lyric “two wheels and a big ol’ fraaaayme / when I roll by chicks calling my nayyyme“, and the SWAG-rivalling insta-catchphrase, “Swerve”.

Dame Jones continues to be the break-away talent here, but Ben10 is just so tiny and fierce. I’m totally divided.

Second up, ‘Khaki Pants’ by The NSJ Crew (which features members of Y.N.RichKids) — a clear contender for the next viral dance sensation.

Watch out for the ‘Tightrope’ moment at 2:04, and the part where Ben10 makes your DNA pine after his DNA.

Someone get Tyler or Jay-Z on the line, please.
