Wild Bubble Riddim from ZJ Chrome

It seems as if there is no slowing down for Jamaica’s top disc jockey turned producer ZJ Chrome. Under the helm of Cr203 Records, he has once again delivered a fresh sound whose title best explains the untamed and delicate music known as "Wild Bubble" riddim.

The raw energy emanating from the riddim is complimented by the same rawness of dancehall top artists such as billboard chart topping Popcaan with "Food Haffi Run" or Dancehall deejay Konshens "On Your Face". The "Wild Bubble" riddim gives music lovers a taste of the wild untamed street parties while the beat taps into your primitive instinct.

Dancehall Diva "Tifa", hardcore "Aidonia", the energy God "Elephant Man", Talented and humble "Bugle", outspoken Ladies favorite "Tony Matterhorn", rising artist "Blaq Diamon", Dynamic group "Voicemail", Tommy Lee and a track by Gaza Slim & "World Boss" Vybz Kartel make up this 19 tracks album now available for sale on itunes distributed by 21st Hapilos Digital. The album offers both raw and radio friendly version of the songs to be enjoyed from the dance floor to your personal mp3 device.

Although ZJ Chrome has numerous hits on his roster, it is the single “Clarks” performed by international dancehall star "Vybz Kartel" who gave him world wide recognition. The song remained on the charts for over 40 weeks and was used in international Television. ZJ Chrome is a resident DJ on one of Jamaica's top station "Zip FM". Playing the hits gave him an appreciation for music, and having studied Music Production and Audio Engineering in college gave the the technical tools to create some of today's hottest hits!
