Walshy Fire’s Decades Dancehall Oldies Mixtape
- story Peter Macia
You know what you need in your life? More mixtapes with 96 songs on them. Not 96 Papoose freestyles but 96 dancehall classics and rareties blended like Appleton, pineapple and coconut milk by extended FADER fam Walshy Fire of Black Chiney Soundsystem and spread to the world by Frank151. Walshy explains the mix after the jump under the tracklisting, so we won’t, but we will now go make evening pinas (pause) [SIKE NO PAUSE AT ALL].

Freeload: John Legend f. Buju Banton, “Can’t Be My Lover”
- story THE FADER
John Legend is usually a little too refined for us ruffians at the FADER dot com, but this bonus track on his new album, Evolver (in stores October 28th), has two burning guest verses by Buju Banton and was produced by Supa Dups of Black Chiney Soundsystem. So, just this once (and repeatedly in the privacy of our candlelit bathrooms), we will post him up and dance like we have a business meeting in an hour.

Audio: Munga, “Nah Work”
- story THE FADER
Our dudes in Black Chiney Soundsystem are going for dolo with their latest project, the self-released Drumline/Timeline riddim, which you can purchase from iTunes starting today (dem nah curse – it’s just the clean version for now). Highlights include some particularly venomous Vybz Kartel/Mavado diss tracks (which we premiered in our F43 podcast) and this likkle number from rising dancehaller Munga entitled “Nah Work.” Check out Eddie Stats’ Gen F on Munga from FADER 45 after the jump.
One Band, Many Sounds
- story THE FADER
We’re always elated to see FADER favorites get mainstream coverage, as Black Chiney Soundsystem recently did in the Miami New Times (”If You Can’t Riddim, Join ‘Em” HAY HAY!), if for no other reason than it gives us an excuse to put up our own stories from past issues. For Issue 43, Edwin “Stats” Houghton went down to Miami and came back not only with a killer feature (read it after the jump) but the inside line on Black Chiney’s Drumline Riddim, which we eventually put on our most recent FADER/Southern Comfort limited edition 7″ with Busy Signal hammering his version. Little did we know at the time that the Drumline Riddim would cause much fury between our dudes Vybz Kartel and F42 coverstar Mavado. You can still listen to what started it all on our DJ-mixed podcast from F43 here with the peace of mind in knowing that Vybz and Mavado are now buds.
