Good things come to those who wait. Jamaican reggae-phenom Jamar McNaughton, more commonly known and referred to as Chronixx had revealed in December that his debut, full-length album was to be expected at some point in 2017. Putting the rumors and speculation to rest, Chronixx recently announced that his debut full-length album Chronology will be released June 30 via Soul Circle / Virgin Records (Universal) featuring 16 new tracks…
The 24-year-old breakthrough artist has been hard at work crafting his follow-up effort with his latest EP release of Dread & Terrible which rang in at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Reggae Albums Chart when it dropped in April 2014, and also placed on the Billboard 200. Chronixx has stayed busy throughout the writing process of his debut album having focused in on several collaborations -– most recently with Jah9 for a remix of the track “Hardcore.”

Achieving mainstream success, Chronixx also notched an endorsement deal recently as the face of Adidas’ new Spring/Summer 2017 Spezial Collection, which promotes ‘70s inspired Jamaican tracksuits, polos, jersey and sneakers.
In regards to the release of his forthcoming debut LP, it was revealed in a recent interview with Billboard that Chronology was recorded throughout several different studio locations including Brooklyn, Kingston, London and Chicago. To the delight of many, Chronixx has also announced the release of the new single “Skanking Sweet” which can be heard below.
