Words by Emily Shapiro—
If you’re having a case of the mid-week blues, LargeUp has the cure. Chronixx, our “Artist to Watch” for 2013 (and quite possibly the “obi wan” of contemporary reggae music), has dropped a video for his anthemic “Beat & A Mic” and it has just the positive vibes to get you through to Friday. The video follows Chronixx on a bicycle ride with friends complete with scenic Jamaican oceanviews and some coconuts thrown in for good measure. The track, produced by Bost and Bim has an old-school, tranquil energy and the video does a fantastic job of supporting the message and tone through some real nice visuals. Check it out below.
