Chip Off The Old Block: Meet The New Kids Of Dancehall x Reggae (Pt. 2)


First they started out as the youth of the Dancehall/Reggae culture, now they’re parents with growing kids. It isn’t unusual for the child of an Entertainer to follow in their parent’s footsteps one way or the other as at times they bring a modern take on their parent’s creations, or create their own lane. Some of the most famous off springs include Stephen, Ziggy, and Damian “Junior Gong” Marley (Sons of Bob Marley), Chino and Di Genius (Sons of Freddie McGregor), Junior Tucker (Son of Jimmy Tucker), Morgan Heritage (Children of Denroy Morgan), Tarrus Riley (Son of Jimmy Riley), Queen Ifrica (Daughter of Derrick Morgan), Protoje (Son of Lorna Bennett), Chronixx (Son of Chronicle) and many more. In part 2 of a few part series, I feature more of the new set of kids on the scene whose parents have covered much ground in their respective careers.

NEW MUSIC: @AllanKNGDM x @ChronixxMusic – No Fables


In what is considered a unique pairing, we have a new track from Minnesota based Allan Kingdom, and Jamaica’s own Chronixx. Titled “No Fables” and produced by Allan, Plain Pat, and Jonathon Kaslow, we hear the acts speak on seeing people for who they really are, standing out, and avoiding labels and stereotypes. A song that went below the radar for some of us, but a good listen nonetheless. Off Allan’sNorthern Lights” project, check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
