Updated Bio

	Anwar Karim, also known by stage name Ice Karim is a nineteen year-old recording artist hailing from Northern Virginia. Born to two Caribbean parents, (Jamaican by his mother and St. Thomian by his father) Karim was exposed to all types of music growing up, but took a liking to hip-hop and its four elements. At age ten he began recording singles, which began to appear on SoundCloud in 2015. A few annual drops followed before the 2018 single Breadwinnerz, recorded alongside older brother and partner in rhyme Taajudeen fka Coffee Black. This marked the start of Elevate & Motivate LLC, which 2019’s Ice Coffee EP was released under. In 2020, through DJ EZ Street’s Academy DC, Karim appeared in the Safe Summer DC Showcase that June, for single and video Safe Summer. The song and video appeared on WUSA9 in August, just as Karim released two EPs. The first was The Current Situation with Taajudeen, followed by the solo effort Multifaceted two weeks later. 2021 saw Karim release Amazing, a song which came to fruition through winning the I Got Next Challenge, also powered by The Academy DC. As winner, Karim got to work with Tobari Fingal who produced and engineered the track, as well as HumbleMonarchs DJ, producer, videographer, and creative wiz DJ Roddy Rod. The video was played in 250+ DTLR stores across the country, and earned Karim an interview on DTLR radio with host King Flexxa. In May of 2021, Karim teamed up with outwestINC for solo project Ayah’s Sun. The ten-track effort plays like a story, documenting different stages of Karim’s upbringing, featuring social commentary and insightful lyrics from a young passionate emcee. 2022 was quiet year, but the young God emcee still made sure he was heard. “3-Peat” arrived in November and was a trifecta of infectious beats and hypnotizing rhymes. All tracks (Seasons, ’04 Aziatic, Tuff Kufi) were produced, mixed, and mastered by none other than outwestINC. Karim closed 2022 with a short and sweet single titled “Reminiscing’”, produced by Morehouse brother and fellow musician Miles Anim-Appiah. ProducedByDahm put a butter smooth mix on a thick soul-chop which Karim floated effortlessly on. Karim is currently working on the follow up to Ayah’s Sun, I AM A MAN, which will again be entirely produced by outwestINC. The album details his experiences as a Black Muslim man growing up in a predominantly white neighborhood and private school. The lyrics go deeper into his personal life than ever before, but also speak to the larger ongoing struggle for liberation that Black people continue to fight every day. If Ayah’s Sun was Ice Karim peeling back the layers, this is him giving listeners a deep dive into his mind, shoes, and spirit.

Jamar Rolando McNaughton, using the moniker Chronixx, has ignited a torch in people's hearts the world over and is confidently lighting the path for an entire generation of youths to rediscover roots and culture.

Born October 10, 1992, Chronixx was musically nurtured from an early age by his father, the artist Chronicle, and grew up surrounded by the likes of Burro Banton, Norris Man and Gregory Isaacs. This was before 'Little Chronicle' benefited from the mentorship of Danny Browne with whom he recorded his first tune in 2003. His remarkable ascension in the music industry was in full effect when he began harmonizing for artists such as Lutan Fyah and providing production assistance for tracks sung by Konshens, Munga Honorable, Popcaan and others.

Today, Chronixx is a respected artist in his own right after his career was stimulated by the unfortunate passing of both his blood brother in 2007 and his brother-in-arms, Lil' J.O.E., in 2010. He decided during that period of grief to bypass the difficulties of a young producer seeking external talent by, instead, channeling his energy wholeheartedly as a vocalist. Thankfully, early and unwavering support was received from Zincfence Records producer Romaine 'Teflon' Arnett, who was the first to urge Chronixx to sing the lyrics he was writing for others.

The first EP, Hooked on Chronixx, was released in 2010 and immediately put the budding artist on the radar of music lovers and industry heads alike. Among its 7 tracks, 'Start A Fyah,' 'Capitalist' (featuring Infinite) and 'Behind Curtain' stood out as a fan favorites, reaching far beyond Jamaican shores. Meanwhile, 'Warrior' became Chronixx's first official video and served to alert many more to his arrival.

Chronixx toured for the first time in 2013 when he went to Europe with his own band. Soon afterward, he bestowed a name upon this carefully assembled musical crew: Zincfence Redemption. Altogether, their fascinating stage presence has elevated the Chronixx experience to new and ever increasing heights.

Also in 2013, he and his team were Jamaica's only representation in Nairobi, where he performed as a Peace Ambassador ahead of Kenya's general elections. The next year, he found himself in New York City where he participated in a reggae and jazz series together with living legends Ernest Ranglin and Monty Alexander. By this time, Chronixx had established new and renewed working connections with Sly & Robbie, King Jammy, Leroy Sibbles and, again, Danny Browne.

The Dread & Terrible Project was released in April 2014 with seven tracks plus three dub versions, immediately topping both the Billboard and iTunes reggae charts. Neither an album nor an EP, the Project also includes a short film based on one of its tracks, 'Rastaman Wheel Out.' The film was directed by "The Guru" Ras Kassa and has received high critical acclaim. The hit single, 'Here Comes Trouble' can also be found on The Dread & Terrible Project.

With so much accomplished in so short a time, the world is bracing for greater wonders from this young man who walks with an old soul. For Chronixx himself, music is a mission and history is being made everyday still.

"Prepare your minds and hearts for this revolution."
