LargeUp Premiere: Chedda’s “Pull It Up”

Words by Jesse Serwer—

Chedda, whose Supercat- and Ninjaman-referencing “Original Don” premiered here earlier this year, has hooked up once more with producer The Wizard for a tune bridging dancehall’s future with its past.

“Pull It Up,” which samples Johnny Osbourne‘s “Buddy Bye,” isn’t the first tune to update that track for a new era. 77Klash did something similar with 2008’s “Mad Again,” an electro banger which featured Osbourne and Skerrit Bwoy in a video that was clearly a major influence on Major Lazer. But “Pull It Up,” with its dubstep squeals and 808/trap drum programming,  puts a fresh new sheen on Osbourne’s dancehall classic that’s sure to resonate with the new generation of listeners raised on Major Lazer.

Stream the tune below, and tell us what you think in the comments.
