Walshy Fire toured with the Black Chiney sound system beginning in 2004.

The subsequent mix tapes that the Black Chiney collective of DJs, engineers and MCs would develop were the training ground for Walshy to become a remix producer.

As Walshy Fire explains, “The intention of ABENG is to make the Caribbean and Africa have a conversation that is louder, and in the same studio or the same stage, at the same time.”
