Explained simply
Chip is a London-based rapper. Spice is a dancehall artist from Jamaica, and the two have collaborated on a single called 'Rise Up' released through 7Wallace, a record label founded by British actor Idris Elba.
UK rap and Caribbean dancehall have increasingly overlapping audiences and shared musical influences. 7Wallace was established as a platform for supporting collaborations between artists working across these two traditions, reflecting the growing connections between them.
This type of collaboration is part of a broader trend as streaming services have made it easier for artists and listeners across different regions to connect with each other's work. Such partnerships have become more common in recent years as these previously separate musical scenes have become more intertwined.
