Youthful reggae sensation Chronixx dropped a solid EP in 2014 and after another successful year with several fruitful collaborations – Inner Circle, Major Lazer etc – and wicked tunes like Ghetto People, on Damian Marley's On the Corner riddim, he'll soon return with a new mixtape dropping in January 2016.

Roots & Chalice is produced in collaboration with New York's Federation Sound and follows Chronixx' debut mixtape Start a Fire, which was done together with Major Lazer's Walshy Fire. Roots & Chalice compiles over 20 tracks and features tracks from previous projects revisited on new beats, current songs that haven't been part of any project and – this is the best part – new original songs exclusive to the mixtape.

Three new songs that are part of Roots & Chalice are now available on Soundcloud. Spanish Town Rockin' is contemporary and conscious Jamaican roots, while Majesty is a slice of vintage Studio One since it's recorded over Otis Gayle's marvelous I'll Be Around. Sell My Gun is produced by Teflon leans more towards dread dancehall.

All three tracks bodes well for Chronixx debut album slated for release in mid-2016, a set that will be accompanied by a worldwide tour together with his band Zincfence Redemption.
