详细介绍
Chipmunk原名是Jahmal Noel Fyffe,出生于英国伦敦北部的Enfield。他被认为是英国嘻哈种类Grime(除了有Hip Hop强烈的节奏感还会在歌里就一些现象说出看法,带有英国人特有的风格,而不像通常Hip Hop歌曲那样唱些空洞的言之无物的东西)领域最具才华的新秀之一。他在08年已经推出过两首单曲,而在今年3月推出的新单曲《Chip Diddy Chip》成功为其闯入英国单曲榜前20名。
英国单曲榜的最新冠军Chipmunk是一位颇不寻常的英国Hip Hop Grime流派说唱歌手。就在两周前,Chipmunk把Jay-Z、Kayne West和Eminem这些音乐届的大牌明星全部打败,获得了Music of Black Origin年度大奖的最佳Hip Hop Act,年仅18岁就取得如此成绩,绝对是“后生可畏”。
这位英国19岁新人Chipmunk发行的个人第二张大碟《I Am Chipmunk》,发布首周打入UK Top 40 Albums 第二位。此前发布的单曲Oopsy Daisy,更是空降至冠军位置。
For someone who's just 18 Chipmunk has already achieved a lot - in 2008 he received a MOBO award for Best Newcomer, an Urban Music Award for Best Newcomer, and a nomination for Best Rapper at the American BET Awards, not to mention having racked up millions of plays across his MySpace and Youtube channels - and all when he was just 17.
He's not new to the scene...at the age of 15 Chip started producing and self-releasing mixtapes, buying CDs in bulk and selling them to his mates at school. For his final mixtape, League Of My Own, he came together with Alwayz Recordings, together they then went on to release the much talked about single Chip Diddy Chip, reaching number 21 in the UK charts.
More recently he's been working and touring with N-Dubz and featured on their album Uncle B. He also put his MC talents to DJ Ironik's top 5 single Tiny Dancer.
Once his A-level exams are out of the way in June expect to hear a lot more from Chipmunk. Diamond Rings, will be released on 6th July, followed by the album I Am...Chipmunk in September.
