(Kingston, Jamaica) Dancehall singer
Chico has made a French Connection! Chico recorded the song "
Hey Sexy Wow" with Universal France’s recording artist
Lord Kossity. Lord Kossity, an artist whose style is a combination of Hip Hop and Dancehall, sought out Chico when recording his latest album "
Booming System" released June 2005. "
Hey Sexy Wow" is the first single off this new album.
Chico
Chico just returned from France where he recorded the video "
Hey Sexy Wow" with Lord Kossity. This high quality video was shot on film in Paris. Also featured in the video are the producers of the track "
Hey Sexy Wow",
Damian Hall and
Nigel Whitfield aka "
The Ballaz". The Ballaz have previously been responsible for the
Spanish Fly and
Grimey riddim, both released via Greensleeves Records out of England. Presently, the video can be previewed on Lord Kossity's website
lordkossity.com.
Chico's own website debuts this month at
itschico.com. The video for "
Hey Sexy Wow" will also be added to this site later this month. Chico's distinctly recognizable voice has been a favorite among selectors worldwide, particularly in Europe and amongst American's mixtape DJs who dabble equally in Dancehall and Hip Hop.
Chico's extensive catalog is filled with superior recordings thanks to his long history with
Danny Browne (the defunct Main Street Music camp), producer
Dave Kelly's own Madhouse Records and
Tony Kelly. DJs still favor tunes like "
Stamina Body" from
Richard Browne's Baddis riddim, "
You Nuh Care" from Dave Kelly's Bug riddim, "
Hard" off Richard Browne’s Grasscyat riddim, "
So Fly" from international famed
Steven "Lenky" Marsden Mastermind riddim (also responsible for the
Diwali riddim which spawned hits like
Wayne Wonder's "
No Letting Go" and
Sean Paul's "
Get Busy") and "
Chemistry" by
Christopher Birch off the Sexy Lady riddim.
Chico was also featured on Sean Paul's "
Dutty Rock" album with the collaboration "
Ganja Breed". While this track wasn't released as a single, it's been one of the favorite cuts off the album for many club DJs. With the release of "
Hey Sexy Wow" in France and the upcoming release in the states of the Katana compilation by producer
Tony "CD" Kelly in which Chico's song "
Me Dat" is featured, the future is looking bright for this talented singer.
