Freeload/Video: Chino, “Ting Dem Tall” + “Rave All Night”
- story THE FADER
We’ve given his brother Stephen plenty of work on this blog, but Chino McGregor is making his first appearance with “Ting Dem Tall”, a version on Stephen’s Chiney K riddim, because the chorus is great and dude wears maybe the biggest white-framed aviators we’ve ever seen (maybe his head is just small). We’re also waning fans of the word “rave” and the above video is the first instance of a dancehall artist actually using it in a song title. Trend forecast? Bad idea? We shall see, but if you go to Chino’s MySpace, you can hear how deep the bros go with “Pop It Off”, “Danger” and “Naav Nuh Behavior”.

Freeload: Bounty Killer, “War Bridge” (prod Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor)
- story THE FADER
Now that “A Millie” has gone gold with shitty versions, we are looking for the next beat that everyone will jump on, a beat we will not get sick of until it reaches the absolute depths of unnecessity. “War Bridge” might be that, at least in JA. Stephen “di genius” McGregor throws the kitchen sink at it, building from snaps to trance bounce to minimal synth, and Bounty Killer sets the bar expectedly high. Hopefully, we’ll see the rest of the Alliance jump on this real soon followed by the rest of Jamaica soon thereafter. Feel free to let us know if there’s another “Millie” out there waiting to happen.
