THE RETURN OF CULTURE CHUNES
Welcome Chronixx the General...
It has been quite some time since the
Dancehall scene has received a culture shock. In times past there would be a
steady revolving of the music's different areas... Dancehall, Rockers and
Culture. Recently however, over the last 5 or so years, it seemed that
Dancehall alone was connecting with the people. Even though some great quality
one drop riddim, culture riddims and singles were being produced, it seemed
like they couldn't break through the barrier that dancehall put up. Thankfully,
nothing can last forever and the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013 brought out
a new talent, Chronixx. He's been buzzing since mid last year and his buzz came
to its height at Sting 2012 where he performed and was very well received.
Currently signed to Zinc Fence label, Chronixx has a smooth melodic delivery as
he sings and chants real rasta man lyrics that remind us of early Sizzla, I
Wayne and Warrior King. His fully conscious lyrics are a breath of fresh air to
dancehall that has been sounding more and more like hip hop with some of its
racey lyrical content. With good boys turning slack, rasta artists either
shaving their head or referring to themselves as “ragga-heads” which is used to
justify their slack lyrics or one of my favorite anomolies, the “Gangsta Rass”
movement. It’s truly refreshing to hear
an artist who isn't going for shock value or for hype. Chronixx has brought in the
resurgence of true culture in Dancehall. Hopefully this opens the door to other
artists and brings back the One Drop style of music, which has always served as
the balance to dancehall.
