BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - BLACK CHINEY, one of the most prolific sound systems in the entertainment industry has arrived in St. Kitts and is excited about their performance this evening (May 29) at Club Kactus, dubbed ‘Dancehall Nice Again’.
Robert Bobby Chin Lee and Warren Willy Chin Hoo, who make up Black Chiney, said persons can expect a lot of craziness, dubplates, remixes, dancing and daggering.
“Everything you can think of [will take place],” they said.
Lee and Hoo, who have some 35 years of combined experience in the industry, said that the last time they were in St. Kitts was five years ago.
Lee recalled that their sound started out with a mix CD and has grown from greatly from there.
In terms of production, the duo have produced tracks for some of the biggest names in the music industry including Mary J. Blige, Jah Cure, John Legend, Buju Banton, Rhianna, Estelle and Sean Paul.
The event, which is being presented by Five Star Promotions, will also feature the ‘baddest’ female DJ in the business hailing from St. Kitts, Sweet Sister Sensia; Nevis’ top sound Recklife; one of the Federation’s top sounds, Evolution; and the uprising sound, Chalice.
SKNVibes Pep spoke with Nicole Bass of Five Star Promotions, who stated that Black Chiney was the easily best choice for the dance.
“We were looking at the deejays to see who could juggle the best, and we chose them. They’ve been to St. Kitts and people are more familiar with them. We just wanted to do something for the people,” she said.
Black Chiney made a name and earned respect from the sound clashes that they participated early in their career.
In 2002 at an annual Jamaican event dubbed Fully Loaded, reigning king Tony Matterhorn lost in a sound clash against Black Chiney. In a rematch later that year in Miami, Matterhorn was once again defeated and Black Chiney became known as one of the hottest sound systems worldwide.
