[@blaze262332]

they never told us that black is beautiful. he is a legend already

[@supernaturalblack8551]

True

[@ErickMoiro]

It's impressive that Chronixx remembers Kenya as among the first countries to appreciate and support him.

[@steppa_production]

a tru!!!

[@Justice777Allah]

Erick Moiro Jamaica is the one country in the caribbean that constantly and consistently promotes Africa! Very very special country, I admire then. So much influence from music to fashion to slang to track and field, etc, etc.

[@KanyekiKamawe]

I got so excited when I heard that too as a Kenyan! I also just recently got in to Reggae so I was super elated!

[@cosmicwisdom999]

Erick Moiro He got his break in Kenya, I remembered him saying so...

[@burrusaga]

Erick Moiro Jamaicans as always seen Africa as home and the home of Earth rightful leader

[@007Mssugar]

I could listen to your reasoning all day Chronixx.

[@therootoflife5290]

007Mssugar Yeah man!!! I just replay each time here

[@pmelody6151]

big up to the Caribbean people we are magical people ✊✊✊

[@TRAUMATIZE]

We are on a different Thought Process. Cuba born.

[@SET24K]

Puerto Rico-born! BIG UP.

[@pmelody6151]

born in Guadeloupe French Antilles, raised in Dominica

[@ShawnT8289]

Isaac Velez yeah, Reggaeton comes Reggae too. Imitation of Reggae. everything they copied from us.

[@ShawnT8289]

TheRealTraumatize stop talk shit. The beginning of Reggaeton can be traced back to Panama's Spanish Reggae style which was an adaptation of Jamaican Reggae. However, the general consensus is that Reggaeton actually originated in Puerto Rico, where it evolved into Reggaeton as we know it today and gained popularity. Reggaeton was created from reggae. How do did they come up with the name Reggae when Reggae is a name that was created in Jamaica from the name ragga rebel music then changed to Reggae. You don't even know the history go look it up idiot.

[@akindele13]

One of the best live performers out there. His band is amazing.

[@Godspeedysick]

Very very true!

[@Citizen_Shane21]

akindele13 facts

[@SoffyLoves]

I think they're called Zinc Fence.

[@nerab.5678]

I was at the apple store and when he played #blackisbeautiful the store went mad, that song is so powerful and well written, once you hear it it clings to soul and doesn't let go, chronixx should be proud, he's amazing

[@dernprofitness]

I’m from Uganda 🇺🇬 and listening to Chronixx is always refreshing, his mind and humbleness. #Chronology is a Masterpiece

[@FixTingzENT]

Big up chronixx, real artist

[@FuckdasketsHOPassass]

Hip-hop is probably the biggest thing right now, and it wouldn't have gotten this big without a jamaican immigrant in the bronx

[@DJAUDIO1]

Major respect to Chronixx for bringing up the sound frequency issue. All modern day music is recorded at 441hz and 480hz when the natural sound should be at 432. all you DJs and producers watching this video should try tuning and rendering your music at 432 and see what the difference is.

[@malditaquebra]

440 was made to manipulate. 432 heals you.

[@alejandracfina6431]

This is a very woke statement.

[@nadianorman2274]

@Alejandra C Fina "Awake" not "woke." "Woke" is slang for brainwashed, indoctrinated sheep.

[@KanyekiKamawe]

I feel like this interview came at the perfect time for me. I just started getting in to reggae music in the last few months and I can't stop listening to it! I feel so fulfilled when I listen to it and it feeds me in a weird way ESPECIALLY in this hectic ass time we live in!

[@dontworry6256]

Willie Kamawe same here man lol

[@clloydfrancis1109]

All most start looking like Dennis brown 👌🏿 on a real a lot of people don't know how important there ears is🙈 it is the balance so you can stand up without falling

[@daviekarega]

Big up chronixx..reggae is big in Kenya Big up for the shout out to kenya

[@joebogonko]

This dude talks like he's 100 years old! Very articulate and wise

[@HebrewsElevenTwentyFive]

Jamaican influence goes deep. From EDM to Hip hop to Kpop.

[@ShawnT8289]

Why don't you do your research and you'll see where hip hop came from.

[@ShawnT8289]

You was just getting schooled why don't you pay attention and you'll learn.

[@Lando-kx6so]

Hip Hop is a child of Reggae music along with Dancehall & Grime.

[@tobilonely5106]

Clockwork actually to founders of the hip hop style are from the carribean and they said they where influenced be a wide array of musical styles including toasting which is basically a jamaican version of hip hop

[@Ziggy246]

@clockwork search up the founding fathers of hip hop and you'll see a lot of them are Jamaicans who emigrated to the States. DJ Kool Herc was a Jamaican migrant and he's been considered as the founding fathers by many. he brought Jamaican sound system culture to the United States which included setting up big speakers in the street with two turn tables where they would mix and cut the music isolating the drum beat and baseline. King tubby and other Dub Reggae were long doing that in Jamaica before hip hop existed. DJ Kool Herc brought that to the Bronx and would have block parties, but finding the crowds weren't really into Jamaican reggae and dub he decided to bring the same Dj styles to funk and disco. this then developed into the break beat when combined with Latin American drum beats which is seen as the origins of Hip Hop. later another thing he brought was toasting which was when Jamaicans would rhythmically rhyme over a dub reggae beat and that later developed into rap. soundclashes and the rewind are also Jamaican. So hip hop dj battles in the middle of the street with their sound systems also had a Jamaican origin.

[@viewmaster2027]

This kid is the deepest artist in today's music.... Big up *Chronixx* 🤔

[@thekandiekingdom9823]

I LIVE for real heavy Jamaican accents. I want to be bffs with Chronixx, he has such a great soul and his voice is just pure gold. He is such a wise, intelligent man, I feel like I want him to be my teacher or summ lmao.

[@kemarblake1598]

TheKandieKingdom real talk

[@mericanbadass5299]

What I love about Jamaicans is the love they have for Africa! ❤️ Respect! Know your roots. Unity and love. Thanks to Bob Marley, the great influencer!

[@musicheadstv9451]

I saw him in concert a few months back him Jah 9 and Kelissa, I felt like I under paid! Lol. I have never said that about a concert other than Sade. This guy knows how to entertain and every song of his actually has meaning to it, he speaks to the people, culture. You can tell he's studied his father and other greats because he's into music to place an impact on the world, and not doing it for "the fame" ( media life) like other "artists". I'm just glad to see him finally getting the recognition that he deserves. Him, Kelissa, Jah 9 , Popcaan, Keznamdi, Kranium and Protoje I can go on...I feel like they're representing THIS generations reggae. Just my opinion though! 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@kaysprintstop]

If you look at him when he is talking and smiling...you can see how Chronixx really does it for the LOVE not the likes...smile on Rasta!!! adore you and your sound. Big up Rasta

[@patriciaclay7401]

Chronixx always gives impressive interviews. Wise beyond his years.

[@vjvj85]

When Ebro said he comes from a long line from Rastas, I knew this guy hadn't done his research lol. Chronixx was a church boy.

[@Godspeedysick]

Lol

[@mrmckie]

vjvj85 lol fi real...but i think he probably meant rasta musicans, like sizzla, capleton, luciano, etc..

[@vjvj85]

Nah. Listen to the questions later on!

[@cosmicwisdom999]

vjvj85 Lol....they never do...lol

[@cosmicwisdom999]

It was worst when they did his 1st and 2nd interview back then

[@Flowcountry0721sounds]

Was just talking about him with ma pops. He is representing Us inna di real way

[@malik48247]

[@workingonmyself]

Caribbean culture in general and Jamaican culture has contributed is much to Black culture in the United States. Rastafari have produced many important artists and including Bob Marley who is the most famous Rastafarian and reggae artist.

[@tavi_elli]

His first show outside Jamaica was in Kenya and it was a peace concert few months to the general election. East Africans had seen the greatness in him as early as 2013. I wish Jamaicans knew how much their music influence East African youths.

big up Ebro for pointing out the volume

[@saranhuleigo5861]

Mi love u chronixx deeper from my heart

[@omargroves2424]

when this artist first appeared on the music seen, his songs sounded like something totally new & unique, the message was universal & still is, a few songs touched me, being personally relatable. Then as his career progressed, i wasn't like on to the next, tho I began to liken him to his contemporaries, like Jessie Royal & Protégé, with whom however his interviews differentiate him, as much as his songs do, a non Jamaica interviewer shows this even more. I see a passionate love for music & the whole aspect of being an artiste, that i can't recall seeing in long time, the type of love for craft that's usually reserved for struggling independent artist & new comers. I really enjoyed this interview it made me wanna be artist again, or reminisce on those days, truthfully I don't follow up music like teen early twenties days & won't go out of my way to listen & buy albums, however in my downtime, his music will be in my playlist, "do it fi di love" it shows.

[@Godspeedysick]

Omar Groves He's actually the one who made me wanna listen to Reggae and music again. I think he's on to something deeper, to touch everyone in some way. And, most importantly his music has something for everyone. That's unique.

[@ygo900]

Al T I felt the same way, made me wanna go back and look into my Caribbean roots

[@Godspeedysick]

ygo900 I'm back myself and I won't turn back.

[@soldout2217]
