Cham

Dancehall
DancehallReggae

Cham is a Dancehall and Reggae act. Their sound grew out of Ms. Triniti and Blackout. Those roots explain a lot about how Cham arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Aidonia, Elephant Man, Demarco, Dexta Daps and T.O.K., sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Kardinal Offishall, Mis-Teeq, Rihanna, Akon and T-Pain, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 38 connections around Cham, reaching back through Ms. Triniti and forward to Kardinal Offishall. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
