#50 Baby Cham

In this episode I have a conversation with Baby Cham.
Reggae-Dancehall superstar. He is one of the most commercially
successful artist to come out of Jamaica. He has been in the music
game since the early 1990s and has sold millions of records.
Originally from Sherlock Crescent in Saint Andrew Parish of
Jamaica, Cham's career began in the early 1990s. The Miami New
Times referred to his debut album Wow... The Story, released in
2000, as "the most anticipated album in years from any reggae
artist", and a Washington Post review of a live Cham concert in
2006 described him as "the man who may be the next Sean Paul -- a
dancehall artist who crosses over to the U.S. hip-hop market."
Throughout his career, Cham has collaborated with many hip hop and
R&B artists such as Foxy Brown, Alicia Keys, Carl Thomas, Shawn
Mims, Mis-Teeq, Rihanna, Che'Nelle, Jentina, Akon, and T-Pain, Keke
Palmer and many others. Cham has for a long time worked with
producer Dave Kelly. In 2012, he recorded with his wife, O, on the
singles "Wine" and "Tun Up". In 2013 he released the Kelly-produced
single "Fighter", featuring Damian "Junior Gong" Marley. Cham's
third album, the Kelly-produced Lawless is due to be released in
June 2015.[6] Featuring the single "I Am Hot", the album was
recorded in Florida apart from a collaboration with Mykal Rose and
Bounty Killer, which was recorded in Jamaica. Here in this episode
we talk about it all. Remember to subscribe and follow @jrwatkis on
