Chip links up with Mavado & Govana on new single ‘Deyah’

Chip is bringing UK and Jamaican music together once again, linking up with dancehall heavyweights Mavado and Govana on his latest single, ‘Deyah’. The release arrives as the North London MC builds anticipation for his forthcoming EP, 'CANNON', marking another collaboration that draws on his long-standing connection with Jamaica.

As the third single from the upcoming project, ‘Deyah’ sees Chip set the scene with a vivid account of his surroundings while back in his motherland. His delivery captures the atmosphere of the track, before Mavado steps in with his unmistakable voice and commanding presence, reminding listeners why he remains one of dancehall’s most respected figures.

Govana completes the line-up with a verse centred on the journey from rags to riches, bringing the track to a close in style. Together, the three artists deliver a charged collaboration that reflects the enduring musical relationship between the UK and Jamaica, with each bringing their own perspective to the record.

For Chip and Mavado, the link-up is far from unfamiliar territory. The pair have worked together several times over the past 15 years, delivering records including ‘Every Gyal’, ‘More Money’ and ‘Starboy Remix’. Govana also brings a deep connection to Jamaica’s dancehall scene, with longstanding ties to The Alliance, making this a meeting of artists with strong roots in the culture.

‘Deyah’ is the latest move in a busy run for Chip ahead of 'CANNON'. His recent international appearances have included a trip to New York, where he linked up with legendary DJ Whoo Kid for an appearance on Eminem’s Shade 45 radio station, further extending his presence beyond the UK.

Set to arrive on 27 November via 7Wallace as part of its 'Here To Stay' series, CANNON is shaping up to be another statement from an artist who has never been afraid to move between sounds and scenes.
