World Music Views Midseason Extended Trailer

Season 4, Episode 6. This episode focuses on how YouTube, Crypto Currencies and NFTs are changing music globally and how the Caribbean can get in on the action. Joining me is Earl Chapman who is an accomplished business developer working with the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Jamaica Stock Exchange to bring value to innovators and business owners.

Cham's career began in the early 1990s. The Miami Times referred to his debut album Wow... The Story, released in 2000, as "the most anticipated album in years from any reggae artist", and a Washington Post review of a live Cham concert in 2006 described him as "the man who may be the next Sean Paul – a dancehall artist who crosses over to the U.S. hip-hop market." Throughout his career, Cham has collaborated with many hip hop and R&B artists such as Foxy Brown, Alicia Keys, Carl Thomas, Shawn Mims, Mis-Teeq, Rihanna, Che'Nelle, Jentina, Akon, and T-Pain, Keke Palmer and many others. Cham has for a long time worked with producer Dave Kelly. In 2012, he recorded with his wife, O, on the singles "Wine" and "Tun Up". In 2013 he released the Kelly-produced single "Fighter", featuring Damian "Junior Gong" Marley.[5] Cham's third album, the Kelly-produced Lawless was released in June 2015.[6] Featuring the single "I Am Hot", the album was recorded in Florida apart from a collaboration with Mykal Rose and Bounty Killer, which was recorded in Jamaica. Cham explains how he makes music for the world and managed to remain relevant for over two decades. This episode is sponsored by Bank Of Jamaica- Inflation Targeting, and dancehallmag.com.
