As you may or may not know, I only post videos that evoked some form of emotion from me. Sometimes it's anger at a utterly butters tune, but I do tend to post videos to songs that I'm feeling more often than not
This one is probably one of my favourite tunes from 09 full stop. Any genre! Powerful message, catchy melody, playful beat... also reminds me of my time in Jamaica this past summer. Song gives me such a good feelin'. After fuelling up on Cranberry and Vodka/Rum, draw for the Skip To Ma Luu dance and it's that summer vibe! In fact, I featured this tune back in July/August.
You most probably don't know who the hell Chino is. If not, he's son of living legend reggae singer Freddie McGregor and brother to leading producer (and producer of this track) Stephen "Di Genius" McGregor. Here is an interview I did with him earlier on this year. Most fans of dancehall/bashment are so engrossed in the Gully/Gaza debate over here in England they don't even know how big Chino is in Jamaica. One of the leading artists I'll have you know.
I'm gonna take a little time out to speak about these "DJs" over in England. You lot (in most cases) are absolutely crap! Why must you follow fashion in the whole Gully/Gaza ting leaving listeners completely unaware of what else is going on? Then you have these little hurry come-up top 40 urban DJs harping on about Gully and Gaza when "I bet you a tenner" they don't know why it's called that or where it is. Stop hyping and stick to playing tunes. What are you going to do now there isn't Gully vs Gaza? Huh? Where you gonna get your cheap forwards from?
Anyway, back to Chino, he's the next best commercial artist to Sean Paul in my eyes, but with all due respects a lot more street cred than Sean ever had. Don't get it twisted, SP isn't a slouch but I don't think he ever got a forward like this or Protected get in the ghetto dances (the livest parties may I add and NOT all like Passa Passa DVDs).
