Complex magazine published a little feature on Popcaan and Chromatic Sound today. »Pappy« e.g. talks about growing up in Portmore, linking with Kartel and the role of Chromatic and Coppershot soundsystems for his career:

Big up Creep and Niko. Chromatic response for Popcaan still — Chromatic & Coppershot. Them sound deh always support me. Them go out and play me music. They make remix with me and them ting deh. Sometimes I wasn’t even aware of it. Me just hear it.

At the end of January, Popcaan and Chromatic will release the follow-up to their 2010 mixtape »Hot Skull, Fry Yiy, Boil Brainz«, »Yiy Change«.
