The heirs to the Big Ship throne are at it again. This time, they have teamed up on a new album titled Great Minds Think Alike, set for release this summer. On the album, Di Genius doubles as both producer and artiste.
The 16-track compilation will have a mixture of different genres, including reggae, dancehall, R&B, jazz, rock, and hip hop. Chino said the name of the album is self-explanatory.
"We have collaborative history and chemistry. We are siblings, so we have similar thought processes musically and otherwise. It's very easy for us to work together because we know what we want to hear from each other. We understand each other better than anybody else," he told THE WEEKEND STAR.
He added that the album will be unconventional as it incorporates high-level production elements and out of the box ideas.
"Some of the songs are as long as nine minutes. It's not your typical album. We are going all out on this. It's about 85 per cent completed, but in the meantime, we will be releasing four songs earlier as an EP. The EP will be released in April to create a buzz around the album."
Tracks on the album will include Roots Sound,Family and I Don't Know, which also features their father, veteran reggae artiste Freddie McGregor.
In the meantime, Chino is gearing up for a tour of the United States in the upcoming weeks.
"I'm just working on some singles while here. Just trying to put out as much material for the local market," he stated
