wow “Dela Move” is fantastic

It is! Been tempted to post it on the “extraordinary reggae” thread as a borderline troll, but it really does remind me of Cedric Brooks and Dadawah and the like

it's ace but i think i'm more into the produciton than the vocal

Never got much further than “Here Comes Trouble” and “Start a Fyah” with Chronixx, until Wizkid made me pay attention again. “Jam” is one of the highlights of the recent Starboy EP, and by far its most popular track.

This year’s singles are great, “Dela Move” obviously, but “Breeze/Friday” is a bop and three quarters too.

Just checked out “I Can” - the chorus is way to Coldplay-ey, but I like it fine outside that. Luckily there’s a Toddla T remix for some cool vibes, and one by J.L.L. (me neither) that stays closer to the spirit of the original but blurs out the Martinesquisms - I quite like it:

(icymi the video for “I Can” has balloons and a wedding - ahead of its time!)

I found this 2017 interview from the Chronology promotional cycle quite interesting:

(I've had to inform the i don't care if you're black, white, purple thread tho)

This has prompted me to dig Chronology out again and it's still great - the bass sounds so good even at low volume.

I had to skip I Can though, just too eager to please.

I Can is kind of cute though, even I have to admit

I haven't listened to the other versions nor the Sasco/Assassin EP yet, but I had to post this for forks ;)

"Television Is the Worst" (Loco Riddim)

Not sure what I think of this yet—I really wasn't expecting this sci-fi production from him—but I'm intrigued:

"Safe N Sound"

I heard this on a podcast the other day, and it might legit be the best "Chronixx" tune ever:

Kabaka Pyramid f. Chronixx - Blessed Is the Man

man's got his own thread, and this needs to be there, from back in April, "Never Give Up":

I had never listened to it before - thanx, year-end lists!

love, love, love the backing vocals.

yes, so good!

oh I actually thought that had been posted, but it must've just been the Sault thread

It's definitely a good song. But I still think it's funny that this is maybe the most straight-up retro-sounding thing he's ever done, and it's hot-shit Inflo producing. Not that I'd complain if they did a whole project together, seems like Chronixx's long supposed-to-be-forthcoming album isn't going to happen :(

yeah, I did a search and it was posted on the Sault thread, which is not a place I ever go to. my loss, I guess, but whatever.

imo you are on the right path

btw, people who like that song and haven't ever heard, say, Freddie McGregor's Bobby Bobylon would probably flip for it (start with the title track if you just want a taste)
