Chronixx and Brooklyn's own Federation Sound (Max Glazer & Kenny Meez) team up for the mixtape, Roots & Chalice.
The mixtape features over twenty tracks of Chronixx delivering fiery lyrics & signature flow on an eclectic selection of beats, including exclusive songs produced by the in-house production team (Zincfence Records/Special Delivery Music) or on freestyles and reworked fan favourites on classic riddims.
After a 2015 rich in guest appearances (Joey Badass, Inner Circle, Major Lazer, Protoje & Maverick Sabre), Chronixx dropped Roots & Chalice at the top of 2016. This collection follows the critically-acclaimed Start A Fire mixtape with Walshy Fire (Major Lazer) in 2012. Consider it a warm up for the Spanish Town singer's highly-anticipated debut album slated for the not too distant future.
Three lead songs were released from Roots & Chalice; "Majesty", "Spanish Town Rockin'" and "Sell My Gun". Studio One lovers will recognise the "Majesty" instrumental - Otis Gayle "I'll Be Around" (Sound Dimension / Studio One) - with added guitar provided by Nnamdi Robinson of Zincfence Redemption. "Spanish Town Rockin", an instantly familiar yet fresh take on Barrington Levy's "Prison Oval Rock" and thought-provoking "Sell My Gun" produced by Teflon of Zincfence Records. Never one to not share the limelight, the project also features guest appearances from Dre Island, Kelissa and Kabaka Pyramid and Eesah, another member of the Zincfence family.
