Chronic Law ready to ignite ‘Best Of The Best’
Dancehall 'Musical Therapist,' Chronic Law, plans to showcase a "proper, culturally infused and family-friendly" performance at his upcoming Best Of The Best Music Fest slated for May 25 at Bayfront Park in Miami, Florida.

"Mi sure mi ago gi dem an experience weh dem naah guh figet. Mi ago gi dem a proper, proper performance man," a confident Chronic Law told THE STAR. "Mi ago deliver proper music 'cause yuh know seh a family event, suh mi affi put out di energy and show dem seh Chronic Law is a different type a artiste when it comes on to versatility. Suh mi ago gi dem mi best performance and deliver di best set a music dem that is family friendly."
He opined that his hit singles Hillside and Bless Me, among several other suitable songs "fit the criteria of Best Of The Best".
The Rockers Island and Massive B Entertainment produced festival continues to be a cornerstone of Caribbean heritage in North America. It provides a Caribbean musical experience and usually garners a massive turnout annually through its fusion of music, food and community. Musical pioneers Buju Banton and Beres Hammond will be sharing the Miami stage for the first time, which will also mark Buju's "first outdoor performance" in Florida in more than 15 years. The line-up also includes reggae icon Marcia Griffiths, Wayne Wonder, Romain Virgo, Nadine Sutherland, 450, and Skinny Fabulous-- which the producers believe will showcase a true celebration of the past, present, and future of Caribbean music. Chronic Law, highlighted the importance of maintaining the culture within dancehall.
"I am extremely big on culture and that is the reason why I will always stay true to myself and put music out that is relatable. And I fly my Jamaican flag everywhere I go to represent. I always do it for the culture," the Things Inside artiste noted.
He underscored that though the music space evolves overtime, he remains authentic while adapting to cultural changes within music by "staying true to myself".
"That's what's unique about 'Law Boss' (his nickname). With all the changes in the dancehall space, I always try to maintain my identity and remain relatable," he said. He further shared that he continues to maintain relevance while producing hits with the ever-changing trends in dancehall, through "hard work".
"Yuh affi put in the work inna di studio, it starts from there. It starts from dedication and di love weh yuh have fi music, not just weh yuh can get from it - di message weh yuh a put out to people, di feedback weh yuh get from di streets, social media and di worl. It just mek mi feel good inna miself fi just put out di music weh mi know people waah fi hear or weh dem can relate to," said Chronic Law.
As he looks forward to Best Of The Best, he said he's "delighted to be sharing stage with some of the best to ever do it".
"So I've crafted an exclusive set, one that I've never performed before," he said.
Chronic Law is currently working on an EP with his 'brother,' Bashy, under his label, Collect The Bread Entertainment. Punta Cana Flex was inspired from the "vibe at Punta Cana [a small resort town] in the Dominican Republic". The artiste is also scheduled to perform at BRT Weekend, shows in Atlanta and Philadelphia, and the St Kitts Music Festival.
