Walshy Fire | The Major Lazer Firing Black Chiney | chapter 006
As a Londoner of Jamaican heritage, I've grown up on different eras of Jamaican music, plus London created music which often contains Jamaicans influences from jungle to UK garage, grime to UK funky and dubstep etc.
For that reason, I've always admired foreigners who have re-interpreted Jamaican music into their own thing. Black Chiney have always had my respect and similarly, I respect what Major Lazer do. May be controversial to some but whatever, bro. They don't take away from dancehall to me, they do their own thing with dancehall.
So I linked up with the only man who has the two in common. I wanted to hear his story from attending dances with brother, world-record breaking West Indies fast bowler Courtney Walsh to touring the world with Major Lazer via Black Chiney. This came about after he heard my reasoning with Kabaka Pyramid, which he compared to old skool Rodigan interviews.
Walshy Fire recalls growing up in Jamaica, moving to America, favourite selectors and parties, making Black Chiney mix CD's, Black Chiney vs Tony Matterhorn beef, how Major Lazer 'Bumaye' changed everything in Jamaica, making Chronixx 'Start A Fyah' mix CD and refusing to do another Red Bull Culture Clash after controversial defeat to Boy Better Know in 2012.
