Back in the 90s my family and I used to visit a local Chinese and West Indian Restaurant. This restaurant had jukebox which was loaded with all types of albums from reggae to dancehall even Indian and chutney. There was one album named CLASSIX by SANJ with a particular remix on it called O HASEENA paired with GUN IN A BAGGY with a wicked dancehall beat. This is where MY* love for Indian on Dancehall happened and excelled over the years with all the amazing Remixers, DJs and Producers running their remixes with the concept.
6 Months ago, I released Cassette Style [90s Dancehall/Reggae Mix] and during the completion of that project a light bulb went off… WHAT ABOUT A B SIDE!? better yet WHAT ABOUT INDIAN IN BETWEEN!? So back in the day on Cassettes they had another side you had to flip to listen to more music. Some of these Cassettes had an extended mix of what you heard on the A SIDE. So, I followed this concept and used the foundation of Cassette Style to add Indian music in between. Although it took forever to finish and perfect, I can honestly say it came out better than anticipated. (Huge Thank you to my wife for supporting me during the process.)
The concept for the name CUTTAS + GOLD CHAIN MIX came up while I was completing this album for release. It stuck in my head cause I imagined it would be played where people are having a good time knocking dominoes, eating cuttas, drinking all with a gold chain on LOL! It is an album where you just "TUN IT UP TILL DI VOLUME TILL EE CYA GO NUH MO" … personal opinion.*
So yes I know it sounds like an album from the 90s or early 00s that’s what it is for… to make you feel happy and excited while vibin' to some real wicked chunes. Yall lemme know what you think below and run them numbers up! – AJR
